Description
Curator's Comment: The description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28818685 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18921082 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2188890

Urethane (Ethyl carbamate) is is an ethyl ester of carbamic acid, that has been found in many fermented food products and alcoholic beverages such as cheese, bread, yogurt, wine, whiskey, soya sauce etc. An in vitro study indicated that Urethane has a potential to inhibit the growth of bacteria, plant tissue, and rat carcinoma. Urethane has been used for many years as an antineoplastic agent for medical purposes but this application ended after it was discovered to be carcinogenic in 1943. Urethane can produce long-lasting anesthesia without affecting blood gases or blood pressure, it has been used in acute studies. In earlier studies, Urethane was also used as a co-solvent for water-insoluble analgesic and sedative drugs in Japan. By US FDA regulations, ethyl carbamate has been withdrawn from pharmaceutical use. However, small quantities of ethyl carbamate are also used in laboratories as an anesthetic for animals.

Sample Use Guides

In the 1940s, ethyl carbamate was used in man at doses of 1 g/person/day
Route of Administration: Oral
HepG2 cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% mixture of penicillin (100 IU/ml) and streptomycin (100g/ml) at 37 °C in the presence of 5% CO2. Cells at 80% confluent were treated with 100 mM (dissolved in DMEM medium) for different times and cell viability and mortality were timely examined. Cells without EC (Urethane) treatment were grown at the same time as control. For metabolomics and transcriptomic analyses, cells were collected at 4 h and 12 h after treatment, respectively, digested with trypsin and centrifuged in 2 mL Eppendorf tubes at 1000 rpm for 5 min in 4 °C. The cell pellets were washed with ice-cold PBS solution twice, frozen immediately in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C until analysis.
