Application

Halothane USP reference standard, intended for use in specified quality tests and assays as specified in the USP compendia.

Biochem/physiol Actions

2-Bromo-2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane is an inhalation anesthetic. In an effect believed to be independent of anesthesia, halothane inhibits the synthesis of 5-hydroxytryptamine in brain tissue, probably at the tryptophan hydroxylase step.
