`Ethanol and aqueous ethanol solutions of various concentra-
`tions (see Sections 8 and 18) are widely used in pharmaceutical
`formulations and cosmetics. Although ethanol is primarily
`used as a solvent
`it
`is also employed in solutions as an
`antimicrobial preservativcf‘g) Topical ethanol solutions are
`also used as penetration enhancers“) and as disinfectants.

`In the BP 1993,
`qualification refers to ethanol 2 99.5% va. The term
`‘alcohol’, Without other qualification, refers to ethanol 96.0-
`96.6% v/v. Where other strengths are intended,
`the term
`‘alcohol’ or ‘ethanol’ is used, followed by the statement of the
`strength.
`the term ‘dehydrated alcohol‘ refers to

`10. Typical Properties
`in aqueous
`is bactericidal
`Antimicrobial activity: ethanol
`mixtures at concentrations between 60—95% v/v; the optimum
`concentration is generally considered to be 70% v/v.
`Antimicrobial activity, is enhanced in the presence of edetic
`acid or edetate saltsll Ethanol is inactivated in the presence of
`nonionic surfactants and is ineffective against bacterial spores.
`Boiling point: 78.15°C
`Flammability:
`readily flammable, burning with a blue,
`smokeless flame.
`Flash point: i4°C (closed cup)
`Solubility: miscible with chloroform, ether, glycerin and water
`(with rise of temperature and contraction of volume).
`Specific gravity: 0.8119—0.8l39 at 20°C
`Note: the above typical properties are for alcohol (ethanol
`95% or 96% v/v). See Section 18 for typical properties of
`dehydrated alcohol.
`
`11. Stability and Storage Conditions
`
`Aqueous ethanol solutions may be sterilized by autoclaving or
`by filtration and should be stored in airtight containers, in a
`cool place.
`
`12. Incompatibilities
`In acidic conditions, ethanol solutions may react vigorously
`with oxidizing materials. Mixtures with alkali may darken in
`color clue to a reaction with residual amounts of aldehyde.
`Organic salts or acacia may be precipitated from aqueous
`solutions or dispersions. Ethanol solutions are also incompa—
`tible with aluminum containers and may interact with some
`drugs.
`
`13. Method of Manufacture
`
`is manufactured by the controlled enzymatic
`Ethanol
`fermentation of starch, sugar or other carbohydrates. A
`fermented liquid is produced containing about 15% ethanol;
`ethanol 95% va is then obtained by fractional distillation.
`Ethanol may also be prepared by a number of synthetic
`methods.
`
`14. Safety
`Ethanol and aqueous ethanol solutions are widely used in a
`variety of pharmaceutical formulations and cosmetics. Ethanol
`is also consumed in alcoholic beverages.

`3 Alcohnl
`
`Ethanol is rapidly abserbed from the gastrointestinal tract and
`vapor may he ahsnrhed zhrnngh the lungs. Ethanol
`is
`metabolized mainly in the liver to acetaldehyde, which is
`further oxidized to acetate.
`Ethanol is a central nervous system depressant and ingestion
`of low :0 moderate quantities can lead to symptoms of
`intoxication including muscle inwardinarien, visual impair»
`ment, slurred speech, etc. Ingestion of higher cancentrations
`may cause deprensinn of medullary aerial-l, lethargy, amnesia,
`hypothermia, hypoglycemia, stupnr, coma, respiratory depres—
`sion and cardiovascular collapse. The lethal human blood—
`alcohnl mncentratinn is generally estimated to be 400-500 mg!
`100 mL.
`intoxicatinn are usually
`Although symptnms of ethanol
`encountered fallnwing deliberate censumption nf‘ ethanol
`committing beverages, many pharmaceutical products contain
`ethanol as a solvent which,
`if ingested in sufficiently large
`quantities, may cause adverse symptoms of intnxicatinn.
`Parenteral products containing up to 50% of alcohol (ethanol
`995% or 96% vie) have been femulated. However, such
`concentrations can produce pain are intramuscular injection
`and lnwer concentratiens such as 540% vg‘v are preferred.
`Subcutaneous. injection of alcohnl (ethanol 95% WV) similarly

`are made close to nerves, neuritis and nerve degeneration pay
`occur. Ellis effect is user} rherapentically to cause anesthesia in
`canes {If severe pain although the mantle: of using alcohol in
`nerve blocks is controversial. Doses of 1 ml. nf absolute
`alcohol have been used for this purpose“)
`Preparations containing greater than 50% v/v almhol may
`eause skin irritatinn when applied inpically.

`Acidizyfm’kcrlinizy: aqueous solutions are neutral to litmus.
`Antimicmizial activity: benzyl alwth is bacteriostatic and is
`used as an antimicrobial preservative against Gram-pcsitire
`bacteria, molds, fungi anti yeasts althcugh it possesses 0111:;
`modest bactericidal properties. Optimum activity occurs at less
`than pH 5; little activity is shown above 13H 8. Antimicrobial
`activity is reduced in the presence ofnonicnic surfactants, such
`as polycarbate 80. Howcvcr, the rcducticn ln activity is less
`than is thc case with either hydroxybenzoatc esters or
`quaternary ammoninm compounds. The activity of benzyl
`almth may also be reduced by incompatibilities with same
`packaging materials, particularly polyethylene, see Section 12.
`Reported minimum inhibitory concentraticns (MICS) are
`shown in Table If“)
`Bacteria: benzyl alwth is mcderately active against most
`Gram—pcsitive organisms (typical MICE are-
`3—5
`tug/mm,
`althcugh some Gram-positive bacteria are very sensitive
`(MICE (1025-0135 mgf'mL). In general, benzyl alcohol is less
`active against Gram-negative organisms.
`Fungi: benzyl alcchel is effective against melds and yeasts,
`typical MICs are 3-5 mg/mL.
`Spams: benzyl alcohol is inactive against spores, but activity
`may be cnhanccd by heating. Benzyl alcohol 1% v/v, at pH 5-

`11. Stability and Sturage Cundifians
`Benzyl alcohol oxidizus slowly in air to bemléehyde and
`benzuic acid; it does not react with water. Aqueous selutiuns
`may be sterilized by filtratiun ur autoclaving; same solutiuns
`may generate benzaldahyde Liming autoclauing.
`_’
`Benzyl alcohol may be slated in metal or glass containers
`althuugh plastiu containers should not be used. Exceptions to
`this include pulypropylene containers or vessels mated with
`inert marinated palymers such as Teflon, see Section 12.
`Beuzyl alouhul should be stared in an airtight container,
`pmtected from light, in a coal, dry, place.
`
`12. Incumpafibilities
`Beuzyl alcehol
`is inwmpatible with axidiziug agents and
`strong acids. It can also accelurate the anwxldation of fats.
`Although antimicmlfial activity is reduced in tha presence of
`noninnic: surfactants, such as palysuxbats 80, the reduction is
`less than is the case with hydroxybeuzoate esters or quaternary
`ammonium campuunfiu.
`Benzyl alcohol is campatible with methylcellulose and is only
`slowly sorbud by dogmas composed of natural
`rubber,
`Nuuprene and butyl rubber ulusurcs, the: rusistanca of which
`can be enhanced by coating with fluoriuatud polymersf”
`Hawuvar, a 2% m aqueous sulution in a polyethylene
`container, stared at 209C, may lose up to 15% Qf its benzyl
`alcohol content in 13 weeksfs) Losses ta polyvinyl chloride and
`palypropylene contaiuurs under similar conditions are usually
`negligible.
`
`13. Method of Manufactm‘e
`
`Benzyl alcuhol is prcpared commercially by the distillation of
`benzyl chloride with potassium in sodium carbonate. It may
`also be prepared by the Canal-mam reaction of bemaldehyde
`and potassium hyclmxide.
`
`14. Safety
`Benzyl alcuhol is used in a wide variety of pharmaueutiual
`formulations. It is metabulizcd tu benzalclehydu and benzoic
`acid, with henzoic acid being further metabolized in the liver
`by conjugation with glycine to form hippuric acid which is
`slimmed in the urine.
`Ingustlou or inhalation of benzyl alcohul may cause headache,
`vertigo, nausea“ vomiting and diarrhea. merexposma may
`result in CNS depression and respiratory failure‘ Huwaver, the
