Citral, disulfiram, and cyanamide were found to inhibit human lens ALDH1A1 at IC50 values of 55, 101, and 22610 microM, respectively, whereas diethylstilbestrol (DES) was found to be an activator (EC (50), 1.3 microM).

RESULTS: Rat lenses transfected with ALDH1A1-specific SiRNA, or cultured in the presence of the ALDH inhibitor cyanamide/disulfiram and subjected to oxidative stress displayed accelerated loss of transparency and a diminished capacity to oxidize HNE.

The enzymes, however, showed different inhibition patterns with respect to pyrazole, cyanamide and disulphiram.
ALDH-1 and ALDH-2 isoenzymes were detected in larvae by electrophoretic methods.
