Disulfiram is an agent used to support the treatment of chronic alcoholism by producing an acute sensitivity to alcohol. Disulfiram is also being studied as a treatment for cocaine dependence, as it prevents the breakdown of dopamine (a neurotransmitter whose release is stimulated by cocaine); the excess dopamine results in increased anxiety, higher blood pressure, restlessness and other unpleasant symptoms. Several studies have reported that it has anti-protozoal activity as well. [1] Disulfiram can inhibit V-ATPase with EC50 of 26 uM. Disulfiram can stimulate reversibly the Ca(2+)-ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. Disulfiram can double the ATPase activity at the concerntration of 120 microM. Disulfiram can increase the rate of dissociation of Ca2+ from the phosphorylated ATPase and the rate of dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated ATPase, but shows no effect on the Ca2+ affinity of the ATPase. Disulfiram can inhibit expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9.
