ethanol¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Mechanism_Of_Action Á¤º¸ The sedative effects of ethanol are mediated through binding to GABA receptors and glycine receptors (alpha 1 and alpha 2 subunits). In its role as an anti-infective, ethanol acts as an osmolyte or dehydrating agent that disrupts the osmotic balance across cell membranes.
Pharmacology
ethanol¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Pharmacology Á¤º¸ Alcohol produces injury to cells by dehydration and precipitation of the cytoplasm or protoplasm. This accounts for its bacteriocidal and antifungal action. When alcohol is injected in close proximity to nerve tissues, it produces neuritis and nerve degeneration (neurolysis). Ninety to 98% of ethanol that enters the body is completely oxidized. Ethanol is also used as a cosolvent to dissolve many insoluble drugs and to serve as a mild sedative in some medicinal formulations.
Absorption
ethanol¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Absorption Á¤º¸ Rapidly absorbed.
Toxicity
ethanol¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Toxicity Á¤º¸ Oral, rat LD50: 5628 mg/kg. Symptoms and effects of overdose include nausea, vomiting, CNS depression, acute respiratory failure or death and with chronic use, severe health problems, such as liver and brain damage.
Drug Interactions
