About EthanolAlcohol(a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid), Sedative, Disinfectant,preservative.Mechanism of Action of EthanolAlcohol promotes GABAA receptor mediated synaptic inhibition and inhibits NMDA and kainite type of excitatory amino acid receptors. It also causes augmentation of action of serotonin (5-HT) on 5HT3 inhibitory autoreceptor. It indirectly reduces neurotransmitter release by inhibiting voltage sensitive neuronal calcium channels. It also blocks adenosine uptake which could also contribute to the synaptic depression. It enhances turnover of nor-adrenaline in brain through an opioid receptor dependent mechanism which results in pleasurable effects. It also alters activity of membrane bound enzymes like Na+K+ATPase and adenylyl cyclase.
Alcohol possesses mild rubefacient and counterirritant action on skin. It also acts as an astringent and antiseptic on skin. It precipitates bacterial proteins. It acts as respiratory stimulant in collapse. It irritates buccal and pharyngeal mucosa and causes transient reflex stimulation of respiration. Mild to moderate amount of alcohol has been raises HDL level and reduce LDL oxidation. Blood concentration of Ethanol 100mg/dl saturates alcohol dehydrogenase and retards Methanol metabolism and thus effective in methanol poisoning.
