Common NameIsobutane
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionIsobutane is a hydrocarbon and one of two isomers of butane. Butanes are highly flammable, colorless, odorless, easily liquefied gases. They are components of gasoline and can also be used as refrigerants and propellants in aerosol sprays. Butane gas is sold bottled as a fuel for cooking and camping and is also found in cigarette lighters. Butane is a simple asphyxiant and commonly used substance of abuse that is responsible for a large number of "solvent related" deaths. (3, 4)

Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureInhalation (3)
Mechanism of ToxicityButane is a simple asphyxiant and causes toxicity by displacing oxygen. It also affects the central nervous system by enhancing glycine receptors and inhibiting nicotinic acetylcholine and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, resulting in anesthetic effects. (4, 1)
MetabolismNot Available
Toxicity ValuesLC50: 52 mg/L over 1 hour (Inhalation, Mouse) (2)
Lethal DoseNot Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
Uses/SourcesButanes are components of gasoline and can also be used as refrigerants and propellants in aerosol sprays. Butane gas is sold bottled as a fuel for cooking and camping and is also found in cigarette lighters. Butane is a simple asphyxiant and commonly used substance of abuse that is responsible for a large number of "solvent related" deaths. (3, 4)
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
Health EffectsButane targets the central nervous system and cardiovascular system. Inhalation of butane can cause frostbite which can result in death from asphyxiation and ventricular fibrillation. (3, 4)
SymptomsInhalation of butane can cause euphoria, hallucinations, confusion, blurred vision, slurred speech, nausea, vomiting, coughing, sneezing, increased salivation, drowsiness, narcosis, asphyxia, cardiac arrhythmia, and frostbite. (3, 4)
TreatmentTreatment for butane poisoning is supportive and symptomatic. Stimulants should not be administered. Recovery normally occurs quickly once exposure has ceased but support of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems may be needed. (4)

18. Neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-10
General Function:
Receptor binding
Specific Function:
Ionotropic receptor with a probable role in the modulation of auditory stimuli. Agonist binding may induce an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. The channel is permeable to a range of divalent cations including calcium, the influx of which may activate a potassium current which hyperpolarizes the cell membrane. In the ear, this may lead to a reduction in basilar membrane motion, altering the activity of auditory nerve fibers and reducing the range of dynamic hearing. This may protect against acoustic trauma.

25. Neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-9
General Function:
Calcium channel activity
Specific Function:
Ionotropic receptor with a probable role in the modulation of auditory stimuli. Agonist binding induces a conformation change that leads to the opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane (PubMed:11752216, PubMed:25282151). The channel is permeable to a range of divalent cations including calcium, the influx of which may activate a potassium current which hyperpolarizes the cell membrane (PubMed:11752216, PubMed:25282151). In the ear, this may lead to a reduction in basilar membrane motion, altering the activity of auditory nerve fibers and reducing the range of dynamic hearing. This may protect against acoustic trauma. May also regulate keratinocyte adhesion (PubMed:11021840).
