title: Reinvestigation of disulfiram-like biological activity of Coprinus atramentarius (Bull. ex Fr.) Fr. extracts.
abstract: A ninhydrin-positive aqueous fraction isolated from Coprinus atramentarius (Bull. ex Fr.) Fr. showed significant disulfiram-like activity in mice. The isolation of the fraction from the mushroom crude extract and a convenient pharmacological test for following the physiological activity in each fraction are described.
