Disulfiram Augments Oxidative Stress in Rat Brain following Bilateral Carotid Artery Occlusion

Abstract: We examined the brain oxidative stress which accompanies 30 min of bilateral carotid artery ligation (BCAL) in terms of changes in brain levels of glutathione; reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms and the exacerbation of oxidative stress by disulfiram (DSF). These results indicate that BCAL alone decreases GSH content and limits glutathione reductase (GR) activity, and these changes were enhanced by DSF pretreatment. Similar observations were recorded with DSF alone. GR activity (74.3 ± 4.0 µmol min–1<… Show more

“…Recently, the FDA-approved drug disulfiram was demonstrated to inhibit pyroptosis by interfering with the pore-forming activity of cleaved GSDMD [67]. Although, to the best of our current knowledge, disulfiram has not been investigated in AKI models, it has been demonstrated to augment oxidative stress in rat brains following bilateral carotid artery occlusion [68]. Our data that point to a non-cell autonomous tissue-protective function of GSDMD are in line with those discoveries.…”

“…Several studies have suggested that oxidative stress plays a role in ischaemia-related brain damage. 15,16 Further observations regarding the occurrence of ischaemic stroke in SHRSP are of great interest because increased oxidative stress may directly affect brain damage in SHRSP.…”
