“ Alcohols with small molecular volumes increase the amplitude of currents evoked by low 5-HT concentrations and shift the 5-HT concentration-response curve for 5-HT3 receptor activation leftward, indicative of increased receptor sensitivity to agonist.”

“The function of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) type 3 (5-HT(3)) receptor, a member of the Cys-loop ligand-gated ion channel superfamily, is modulated by a variety of compounds such as alcohols , anesthetics and 5-hydroxyindole (5-HI).”
“In addition to TCE, a number of related alcohols (tribromoethanol, isopentanol and 5-chloropentanol but not ethanol) at millimolar concentrations also potentiated depolarisation of the vagus nerve induced by 5-HT.”

“Pharmacologically relevant concentrations of other n-alcohols (propanol to octanol) also inhibited 5-HT responses; however, longer-chain alcohols (decanol, undecanol and dodecanol) had little or no effect.”
