RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 THE MECHANISM OF ACTION OF MONOFLUOROETHANOL JF Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics JO J Pharmacol Exp Ther FD American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics SP 464 OP 467 VO 106 IS 4 A1 Grant R. Bartlett YR 1952 UL http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/106/4/464.abstract AB The experiments reported emphasize the lack of biological reactivity of mono-fluoroethanol itself and indicate that its toxic effects result from an oxidation to fluoroacetic acid by tissue alcohol dehydrogenase.
