title: [A study on the disulfiram-like reaction of T-2588. Influence of the consecutive administration of T-2588 on hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase activities and blood levels of ethanol and acetaldehyde].
abstract: A study on disulfiram-like reaction of T-2588 was carried out using Sprague-Dawley male rats. A 500 mg/kg/day dose of T-2588 was given orally to 14 male rats once daily for 7 days. Disulfiram (200 mg/kg/day X 3 days, p.o.), cephalexin (CEX) (500 mg/kg/day X 7 days, p.o.) and cefmetazole (CMZ) (500 mg/kg/day X 7 days, i.v.) were used as the positive control and 2 comparative controls, respectively. The results obtained were summarized below. Each parameter (aldehyde dehydrogenase activity and the blood aldehyde level) in the disulfiram-like reaction was not affected by the T-2588 administration. A marked inhibition of aldehyde dehydrogenase activity (low-Km ALDH, Enzyme I) and a significant increase of the blood aldehyde level were observed in the rats receiving disulfiram. No drug-related disulfiram-like reaction was induced in the male rats receiving CEX, while alterations similar to the disulfiram action were recognized in rats receiving CMZ.
