Urethane
Urethane (ethyl carbamate) is a compound that acts as a central nervous system depressant with anesthetic, hypnotic, and muscle relaxant properties used experimentally in animal research. It is a known chemical carcinogen classified as a multi-site carcinogen in rodents and is a naturally occurring byproduct in fermented foods and beverages. It is no longer used therapeutically but is an important research chemical for understanding anesthetic mechanisms.
