Resumo

Dimethyl formamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) inhibit mouse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH) in vitro. The inhibition is “uncompetitive” with both DMF and DMSO, where both Km and Vmax were changed in the presence of the inhibitor. Both DMF and DMSO prolonged significantly ethanol-induced loss of righting reflex in mice, but not barbital-induced loss of righting reflex.
