Induction of CYP2E1 also potentiated the toxicity of 2,3-dichloropropanol, and in these cultures cyanamide pre-treatment significantly increased both toxicity and glutathione depletion.

Furthermore, aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitors-cyanamide or chloral hydrate increased 2-bromoethanol dependent hepatocyte susceptibility.
However, cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) inhibitors/substrates were more effective at preventing 2-bromoethanol-induced GSH depletion, lipid peroxidation and cytotoxicity suggesting that 2-bromoethanol is mostly metabolically activated by CYP2E1.

The oxidative metabolism of ethanol by the cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) has been recognized to contribute to the ethanol-induced deleterious effects through the induction of oxidative stress.
Ethanol activated NF-kappaB and AP-1 in E47 cells, an effect that was prevented by 4-methylpyrazole, potentiated by cyanamide, and attenuated by trolox C.
