Picture shows structure of acetaminophen with OH as the side chain on one side and this OH side chain gets converted to O3SO in a particular reaction. Which of the following metabolic processes share the same metabolic pathway as that reaction?
a) deamination of deamphetamine
b) formation of minoxidil sulphate
c) hydrolysis of acetyl salicylic acid
d) N-dealkylation of deipramine
e) N-hydroxylation of meperidine

B, I just guess that.
This seem to be an reaction to change toxic metabolic of acetaminophen to non-toxic metabolic.
N-Acetyl Cysteine is used in cases of Acetaminophen intoxication in order to give sulphur group for the detoxication, so I guess B.

minoxidil must be sulfated to be active...so i'd go for B too.
