Furthermore, aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitors-cyanamide or chloral hydrate increased 2-bromoethanol dependent hepatocyte susceptibility.
Also, hepatocytes isolated from CYP2E1 induced rats were more susceptible to 2-bromoethanol and hepatocytes isolated from rats pretreated with carbon disulfide to inactivate CYP2E1 were more resistant to 2-bromoethanol treatment.

Disulfiram is used in alcohol rehabilitation because it inhibits aldehyde dehydrogenase and consequently causes the disulfiram-ethanol reaction (vomiting, vertigo, anxiety, cardiovascular effects) after ingestion of alcoholic beverages.
Disulfiram and its metabolite carbon disulfide inhibit dopamine beta-hydroxylase, increasing the levels of dopamine and reducing those of norepinephrine in the central nervous system.
