title: [Activity of enzymes of ethanol metabolism as a test in evaluating the effectiveness of sensitizing alcohol deterrents].
abstract: A procedure is developed for determination of the efficiency of the antialcoholic drugs' action on the system of ethanol oxidation in vitro: alcohol dehydrogenase by the direct and reverse reactions and aldehyde dehydrogenase of subcellular fractions of the rat liver. This procedure is also used to determine the antialcoholic activity of a number of new compounds and to compare them with disulphiram (antabus, teturam), the known antialcoholic drug.
