Metabolite Identification
Common NameEthanol
DescriptionEthanol, also known as alcohol or 1-hydroxyethane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as primary alcohols. Primary alcohols are compounds comprising the primary alcohol functional group, with the general structure RCOH (R=alkyl, aryl). Ethanol is a drug which is used for therapeutic neurolysis of nerves or ganglia for the relief of intractable chronic pain in such conditions as inoperable cancer and trigeminal neuralgia (tic douloureux), in patients for whom neurosurgical procedures are contraindicated. Ethanol exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Ethanol exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Ethanol participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Ethanol can be converted into acetaldehyde; which is catalyzed by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase 1B. In addition, Ethanol can be converted into acetaldehyde through the action of the enzyme cytochrome P450 2E1. In cattle, ethanol is involved in the metabolic pathway called the ethanol degradation pathway. Ethanol is a potentially toxic compound.
