4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Therapeutic Uses

/SRP: Former use/ ... For analgesia, few inhalations of 25-35% mixture with oxygen. For induction of anesthesia, 80-90% concentration of ethylene with 10-20% oxygen ... . However, 90% concentration ... should be given for no longer than 2-3 min. Patients usually can be maintained on mixture of 80% ethylene and 20% oxygen. If satisfactory anesthesia cannot be attained with ethylene, gas must be supplemented with barbiturate, strong analgesic, or other anesthetic vapor (eg, ether, halothane).

American Medical Association, Council on Drugs. AMA Drug Evaluations. 2nd ed. Acton, Mass.: Publishing Sciences Group, Inc., 1973., p. 227


4.2 Drug Warning

It has disadvantage of providing inadequate muscle relaxation. Concentrations sufficiently high to induce hypoxia must be employed and the gas-oxygen mixtures are explosive; fatal accidents have occurred during ethylene anesthesia. Consequently, its use has declined markedly in recent years.

Osol, A. (ed.). Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. 16th ed. Easton, Pennsylvania: Mack Publishing Co., 1980., p. 987


Because of the high concentration of ethylene ... Required to produce and maintain anesthesia, cyanosis is an unavoidable accompaniment of ... /its former/ use.

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Plant Growth Regulators

Any of the hormones produced naturally in plants and active in controlling growth and other functions. There are three primary classes: auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins. (See all compounds classified as Plant Growth Regulators.)


5.2 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

When equilibrium is reached, the rate of transfer of gas molecules from the alveolar space to blood equals the rate of removal by blood from the alveolar space. For example, ... ethylene has a low (0.14) blood/gas phase solubility ratio. For a substance with a low solubility ratio such as ethylene, only a small percentage of the total gas is removed by blood during each circulation because blood is soon saturated with the gas.

Bingham, E.; Cohrssen, B.; Powell, C.H.; Patty's Toxicology Volumes 1-9 5th ed. John Wiley & Sons. New York, N.Y. (2001)., p. 116

The inhalation pharmacokinetics of ethylene have been investigated in human volunteers at atmospheric concentrations of up to 50 ppm (157.5 mg/cu m) by gas uptake in a closed spirometer system. The uptake, exhalation and metabolism of ethylene can be described by first-order kinetics. Uptake of ethylene into the body is low. Clearance due to uptake, which reflects the transfer rate of ethylene from the atmosphere into the body, was 25 L/hr for a man of 70 kg. This value represents only 5.6% of the experimentally obtained alveolar ventilation rate of 150 L/hr. The majority (94.4%) of ethylene inhaled into the lungs is exhaled again without becoming systemically available via the blood stream. Maximal accumulation of ethylene in the same man, determined as the thermodynamic partition coefficient whole body:air was 0.53. The concentration ratio at steady state was even smaller (0.33), owing to metabolic elimination. Clearance due to metabolism, in relation to the concentration in the atmosphere, was calculated to be 9.3 L/hr for a man of 70 kg. This indicates that at steady state about 36% of systemically available ethylene is eliminated metabolically and 64% is eliminated by exhalation as the unchanged substance, as can be calculated from the values of clearance of uptake and of clearance of metabolism. The biological half-life of ethylene was 0.65 hr. The alveolar retention of ethylene at steady state was calculated to be 2%. From theoretical considerations of the lung uptake of gases and vapors, it can be deduced that the low uptake rate of ethylene is due to its low solubility in blood: Ostwald's solubility coefficient for human blood at 37 C, 0.15.

5.3 Metabolism/Metabolites

Rat liver microsomal monooxygenases transform ethylene to oxirane. ...

PMID:6318396 Schmiedel G et al; Toxicol Lett 19 (3): 293-7 (1983)


Male CBA mice exposed to air containing 19.6 mg/cu m ... (14)C-labeled ethylene metabolized ethylene to ethylene oxide, which binds to cellular proteins.

IARC. Monographs on the Evaluation of the Carcinogenic Risk of Chemicals to Humans. Geneva: World Health Organization, International Agency for Research on Cancer, 1972-PRESENT. (Multivolume work). Available at: https://monographs.iarc.fr/ENG/Classification/index.php, p. V19 163 (1979)


Four male CBA mice (average body weight, 31 g) were exposed together for 1 hr in a closed glass chamber (5.6 L) to (14)C-ethylene (22 mCi/mmol) in air at 17 ppm x hr (22.3 (mg/cu m) x hr, equivalent to about 1 mg/kg bw). Blood and organs from two mice were pooled 4 hr after the end of exposure. Radioactivity was about the same in kidney (0.16 uCi/g wet weight) and liver (0.14 uCi/g) but lower in testis (0.035 uCi/g), brain (0.02 uCi/g) and Hb (0.0094 uCi/g Hb). Urine was collected from the two other mice during 48 hr, and blood was collected after 21 days. 5-(2-Hydroxyethyl)cysteine was identified as a metabolite of ethylene in urine (3% of (14)C in urine) by thin-layer chromatography. The radioactivity in Hb was 0.011 uCi/g Hb. These data, together with those on specific hydroxyethyl derivatives at amino acid residues of Hb, indicated that ethylene was metabolized to ethylene oxide.

Experiments proved ethylene to be converted in certain species, notably mice and rats, into the carcinogenic and mutagenic ethylene oxide. Carcinogenic effect of ethylene of endogenous origin is suggested. Whether such an effect is possible with oral administration of ethylene is not clear.
