Pheneturide (INN, BAN) (brand names Benuride, Deturid, Pheneturid, Septotence, Trinuride),[1] also known as phenylethylacetylurea (or ethylphenacemide), is an anticonvulsant of the ureide class.
[2][3] Conceptually, it can be formed in the body as a metabolic degradation product from phenobarbital.
[5] It is marketed in Europe, including in Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom.
[6] Pheneturide has a similar profile of anticonvulsant activity and toxicity relative to phenacemide.
[8] Pheneturide inhibits the metabolism and thus increases the levels of other anticonvulsants, such as phenytoin.
