Unchanged bromoethane account for approximately 70% of the dose in the expired air of rats dosed orally by gavage.

4.2 Metabolism/Metabolites

... It may be hydrolyzed to a significant degree in body, resulting in formation of inorganic bromides.

Ethylmercapturic acid is also an ethyl bromide metabolite as shown by its appearance in the urine of rats administered 1.25 g/kg subcutaneous doses of ethyl bromide. This finding was supported by the presence of S-ethyl-cysteine in acid-treated urine.

Ethyl bromide is a substrate for glutathione S-transferase. Female Wistar rats given 1.16 millimoles of ethyl bromide in oil by gavage were sacrificed 2 hours later, and livers were assayed for glutathione; ethyl bromide-treated rats showed liver glutathione levels 52% that of controls.

The substrate specificity of ammonia monooxygenase in whole cells of the nitrifying bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea have been determined for a number of aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbons. The effect of the halogen substituent and carbon chain length on substrate reactivity was studied by measuring the rates of oxidation of monohalogenated ethanes (fluoroethane, chloroethane, bromoethane, and iodoethane) by whole cells of Nitrosomonas europaea. For monohalogenated ethanes, acetaldehyde was the major organic product and little or none of any of the alternate predicted products (2-halogenated alcohols) were detected.
