Biological Activity
| Description | Urethane (Carbamic acid ethyl ester, Ethyl carbamate, Ethylurethane) is a kind of antineoplastic agent that is also used as a veterinary anesthetic. It is a intermediate in organic synthesis. | ||||||||||

| In vitro | urethane has a spectrum of action on ion channels, which is distinct from other anesthetics. It significantly potentiates the current responses of both GABAA and glycine receptors in a reversible and concentration-dependent manner. Conversely, urethane (10–300 mM) inhibits the responses of NMDA and AMPA receptors. Also, urethane potentiates the function of an nACh receptor and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine, γ-aminobutyric acid A, and glycine receptors[3]. | ||||||||||
| In vivo | Urethane, a carcinogenic substance, is favored for acute in vivo electrophysiological experiments because it induces long-lasting steady level of anesthesia with muscle relaxation and minimally affects the autonomic and cardiovascular systems[2]. Urethane affects both inhibitory and excitatory systems but the magnitude of the alterations is less than that produced by other more selective anesthetics[3]. But also, Urethane anesthesia is usually restricted to terminal (acute) experiments due to its potential long-term toxicity[1]. |
