National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings online file (MeSH, 1999)


/It was/ ... reported in 1968 that urethane had found use in human medicine as an anti-neoplastic agent & formerly was used as a hypnotic, an adjunct to sulfonamide therapy, a component (with quinine) of sclerosing soln for varicose veins, & as a topical bacteriocide.

A more recent source states that large doses of urethane produce bone marrow depression, & that for a time it was used in treatment of chronic leukemia & multiple myeloma. No evidence was found that urethane presently finds use in USA in human medicine.

4.2 Drug Warning

Overdosage with any /anticancer agents which include urethane/ causes leukopenia, granulocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, hypoplasia of all elements of bone marrow, nausea ... & anorexia. /From table/

Dreisbach, R. H. Handbook of Poisoning. 9th ed. Los Altos, California: Lange Medical Publications, 1977., p. 433


Medication (vet): ... Hepatotoxic. Contraindicated in nephritis or hepatitis. Hematopoietic depressant. May be teratogenic (hamsters) & carcinogenic (rats & mice). Continued use may depress white cell counts. May increase blood glucose levels. ... Usually reserved for terminal experiments, as pulmonary edema may occur during long lasting anesthesia and recovery periods.

Rossoff, I.S. Handbook of Veterinary Drugs. New York: Springer Publishing Company, 1974., p. 632


Although positive evidence of teratogenicity in humans is not available for all antineoplastic agents, it is considered that they are best avoided during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester, and should not be used in mothers who are breast feeding. /Anti-neoplastic agents/

Reynolds, J.E.F., Prasad, A.B. (eds.) Martindale-The Extra Pharmacopoeia. 28th ed. London: The Pharmaceutical Press, 1982., p. 175

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Anesthetics, Intravenous

Ultrashort-acting anesthetics that are used for induction. Loss of consciousness is rapid and induction is pleasant, but there is no muscle relaxation and reflexes frequently are not reduced adequately. Repeated administration results in accumulation and prolongs the recovery time. Since these agents have little if any analgesic activity, they are seldom used alone except in brief minor procedures. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p174) (See all compounds classified as Anesthetics, Intravenous.)


Antineoplastic Agents

Substances that inhibit or prevent the proliferation of NEOPLASMS. (See all compounds classified as Antineoplastic Agents.)


Carcinogens

Substances that increase the risk of NEOPLASMS in humans or animals. Both genotoxic chemicals, which affect DNA directly, and nongenotoxic chemicals, which induce neoplasms by other mechanism, are included. (See all compounds classified as Carcinogens.)


5.2 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

The distribution of radiolabelled urethane administered in water or ethanolic solution, was compared in mice by whole-body autoradiography. Two fasted male A/JAX mice were administered 6 uCi (ethyl-1-(14)C)urethane by oral intubation. One mouse received urethane in 1 mL of an aqueous solution, the other in a 12% ethanol solution. One hour after treatment, the mice were frozen and processed for whole body autoradiography. When urethane was administered in water, the radioactivity localized in the salivary, seromucous, and Harderian glands, medullary bone, liver, bile, and epithelia of the stomach and intestine. Lower levels were seen in brown fat, and in the thymus and esophagus. When urethane was administered in ethanol, localization of urethane at each of these sites was almost completely inhibited; high concentrations were still found in the lumen of the stomach and intestine. No evidence was found of transesterification at pH 1.5 in 12% ethanol.

PMID:3623342 Waddell WJ et al; Food Chem Toxicol 25 (7): 527-31 (1987)


In an attempt to understand route of administration dependency, (3)H-benzo(a)pyrene, (14)C-urethane and (14)C-acrylamide were administered as single doses orally or topically to male Sencar mice. Distribution in skin, stomach, liver, and lung was determined for time periods up to 48 hr. The binding of these compounds to DNA, RNA, and protein in these tissues was determined 6 and 48 hr after administration. For all three compounds, high concentrations were found in the skin following topical application, but very little material reached this target organ following oral administration. The internal organs generally contained more material after oral administration compared to topical application, whereas the opposite was true for the skin. Differences in distribution to the skin and binding to macromolecules following oral or topical administration cannot explain the greater tumorigenicity of urethane and acrylamide after oral administration in the Sencar mouse.

In mice, urethane is active by transplacental route & is passed to offspring in milk.

After oral administration to rats and mice, /carbamic acid, ethyl ester/ is completely absorbed from the GI tract and rapidly distributed throughout the body. ...Mice eliminated /carbamic acid, ethyl ester/ as /carbon dioxide/ more rapidly than rats.

5.3 Metabolism/Metabolites

In rats, rabbits & humans (patients with multiple myeloma treated with urethane in conjunction with alkylating agent), urinary metabolites are: urethane (0.5-1.7% of admin dose), n-hydroxy urethane (0.02-0.15%), acetyl-n-hydroxy urethane (0.1-0.6%), ethyl mercapturic acid (0.1-0.2%) & N-acetyl-s-ethoxy carbonylcysteine (0.9-2.1%).

It is metabolized to ethyl alcohol and carbamic acid, and the latter acts as a weak diuretic.

Rossoff, I.S. Handbook of Veterinary Drugs. New York: Springer Publishing Company, 1974., p. 632


Biotransformation of urethane in rats and rabbits and in man affords n-hydroxyurethane, N-acetyl-s-carboxyethylcysteine, and ethylmercapturic acid as urinary metabolites, and thus urethane is converted into an alkylating agent through n-hydroxylation.

5.4 Mechanism of Action

The clonal origin of pulmonary tumors by treatment with the chemical carcinogens, urethane and 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide, were verified by PGK-isozyme mosaicism in DS strain mice. Six pulmonary tumors (12.5%) in 48 mice treated with urethane, and one (3.4%) in 23 mice treated with 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide, were observed respectively. A single band, either PGK-la or PGK-lb occurred in two out of 7 tumors; and 5 remaining tumors showed either band la and lb associated with a trace band of the other isozyme. Though traces of stromal element and/or blood cells seem to be mixed among the neoplastic tissue, the pulmonary tumor could have originated from a single cell, when one takes into account the significantly higher expression in one band.

Inayama Y et al; Yokohama Med Bull 38 (5-6): 133-40 (1987)


The suitability of urethane anesthesia for physiopharmacological investigations is reviewed. Total dose administered and route of administration are recognized as factors having a great influence on both resting parameters and biological responses to drugs. A peculiar characteristic of urethane is represented by its ability to induce a surgical plane of anesthesia without affecting neurotransmission in various subcortical areas and the peripheral nervous system. This makes urethane a suitable general anesthetic nervous systems and accounts for the preservation of a number of reflex responses in urethane anesthetized animals.

PMID:2868911 Maggi CA, Meli A; Experientia 42 (2): 109-14 (1986)


The carbamates alone weakly activated estrogen- or progesterone-responsive reporter genes in breast and endometrial cancer cells. All of the carbamates decreased estradiol- or progesterone-induced reporter gene activity in the breast and endometrial cancer cells. In whole cell competition binding assays, the carbamates demonstrated a limited capacity to displace radiolabeled estrogen or progesterone from /estrogen receptor/ or /progesterone receptor/. /Carbamates/

PMID:9126867 Klotz D et al; Life Sciences 60 (17): 1467-1475 (1997)


... Urethane potentiated the functions of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine, gamma-aminobutyric acid(A), and glycine receptors, and it inhibited N-methyl-D-aspartate and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptors in a concentration-dependent manner. At concentrations close to anesthetic 50% effective concentration, urethane had modest effects on all channels tested. ... A large concentration of urethane exerts marked effects on all channels.
