Alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitors, methyl pyrazole or dimethyl sulfoxide only partly prevented 2-bromoethanol induced GSH depletion, lipid peroxidation and cytotoxicity.
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.

The objective of this study was to determine whether the thiol drug, diethyldithiocarbamate (DEDC) and its two metabolites, disulfiram (DS) and carbon disulfide (CS2) could be used as inhibitors of cytochrome P-450IIE1 to protect hepatocytes from cytotoxic xenobiotics. (1) Hepatocytes isolated from rats following pyrazole administration to induce cytochrome P-450IIE1 were much more susceptible to carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) than hepatocytes from untreated rats.
Instead, cyclophosphamide was activated by phenobarbital-induced P-450 isozymes whereas lactonitrile was activated by alcohol dehydrogenase.
