the Pharmacological

Pharmacokinetics At properties intake extent of absorption of Disulfiramum is non-constant, is distributed, first of all, in kidneys, a pancreas, a liver, intestines and fatty tissue. Disulfiramum is quickly metabolized in diethyldithiocarboxilic acid (DDK) which is conjugated with glucuronic acid, is oxidized to sulfate, methylated and breaks up to diethyl amine which is removed by kidneys and carbon disulphide which is removed by lungs. It is removed, mainly, through kidneys.
A pharmacodynamics
Effect of Disulfiramum, first of all, is connected with an irreversible inactivation of an atsetaldegiddegidrogenaza. In lack of enzyme the metabolism of ethanol is blocked and intracellular concentration of ethyl aldehyde increases. The symptoms arising from reaction Disulfiramum-alcohol depend on ethyl aldehyde level. Also transformation of dopamine into noradrenaline and reduction of noradrenaline in heart tissues is inhibited that allow ethyl aldehyde to affect directly these fabrics, leading to rush of blood, tachycardia and lowering of arterial pressure.
In addition to this action of an atsetaldegiddegidrogenaza, Disulfiramum inhibits other fermental systems, including dopamine – a beta hydroxylase (turns dopamine into noradrenaline) and microsomal oxidases of a liver (responsible for metabolism of many drugs). Thus, Disulfiramum can exponentiate the effect of drugs which are exposed to metabolism by means of these enzymes.

Indications
