ChEBI:Inabenfide is a diarylmethane.

In rats, inabenfide is mainly hydroxylated on the phenyl ring which is not substituted by a chlorine atom through epoxidation. Oxidation of the benzyl alcohol gives benzophenone. The other hydroxylation is the substitution of the chlorine with hydroxyl of the other phenyl ring possessing a chlorine atom. Also, hydrolysis of the amide bond resulting in the corresponding aniline and N-oxidation of the pyridine nitrogen can be observed.
