Phenacemide (INN, BAN) (brand name Phenurone), also known as phenylacetylurea, is an anticonvulsant of the ureide (acetylurea) class.^[1] It is a congener and ring-opened analogue of phenytoin (a hydantoin),^[2]^[3] and is structurally related to the barbiturates and to other hydantoins.^[4] Phenacemide was introduced in 1949 for the treatment of epilepsy, but was eventually withdrawn due to toxicity.^[2]^[3]
