DescriptionNitrefazole is an inhibitor of aldehyde dehydrogenase useful in the management of alcoholism. Cited advantages over disulfiram include longer duration of action, higher specificity (no inhibition of dopamine β-hydroxylase) and fewer side effects. It is generally recognized that the efficacy of such agents with respect to permanent abstinence is low. However, temporary abstinence and/or controlled drinking may facilitate supportive psychotherapy and/or delay the onset of severe alcoholic diseases.
UsesNitrefazole is a nitroimidazole derivative with the ability to inhibit aldehyde dehydrogenase, and enzyme crucial to the metabolism of alcohol. This compound is suitable for aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) related research.
