Disulfiram has been used extensively for alcohol abuse and may have a role in treatment for cocaine addiction. Recent data suggest that disulfiram may also reactivate latent HIV in reservoirs. Disulfiram has complex pharmacokinetics with rapid metabolism to active metabolites, including S-methyl-N,N-diethylthiocarbamate (DET-Me) which is formed from cytochrome P450 (CYP450). Assessing disulfiram in HIV-infected individuals with a CYP450 inducing drug (e.g., efavirenz) or a CYP450 inhibiting drug (e.g., HIV-1 protease inhibitors) requires an assay that can measure a metabolite that is formed directly via CYP450 oxidation. Therefore, an assay to measure concentrations of DET-Me in human plasma was validated. DET-Me and the internal standard, S-ethyldipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC) were separated by isocratic ultra performance liquid chromatography using a Waters Acquity HSS T3 column (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.8 μm) and detection via electrospray coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Multiple reaction monitoring in positive mode was used with DET-Me at 148/100 and the internal standard at 190/128 with a linear range of 0.500-50.0 ng/mL with a 5 min run time. Human plasma (500 μL) was extracted using a solid phase procedure. The interassay variation ranged from 1.86 to 7.74% while the intra assay variation ranged from 3.38 to 5.94% over three days. Representative results are provided from samples collected from subjects receiving daily doses of disulfiram 62.5mg or 250 mg.

D004221 Disulfiram A carbamate derivative used as an alcohol deterrent. It is a relatively nontoxic substance when administered alone, but markedly alters the intermediary metabolism of alcohol. When alcohol is ingested after administration of disulfiram, blood acetaldehyde concentrations are increased, followed by flushing, systemic vasodilation, respiratory difficulties, nausea, hypotension, and other symptoms (acetaldehyde syndrome). It acts by inhibiting aldehyde dehydrogenase.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
