Sulfiram
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Sulfiram is a very weak aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) inhibitor, with an IC50 value of 413 μM against Saccharomyces cerevisiae ALDH. As a photochemical precursor, Sulfiram undergoes photoconversion to form Disulfiram (HY-B0240), a potent ALDH inhibitor. Sulfiram inhibits the dimerization of the extracellular domain fragment (amino acid residues 230-624) of amyloid precursor protein (APP), alters the monomer-dimer equilibrium, induces conformational changes in the fragment, and enhances the production of sAPPα via α-cleavage of APP. Sulfiram can be used in research related to scabies and Alzheimer's disease.

Biological Activity
Sulfiram is a very weak inhibitor of mitochondrial ALDH in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but undergoes phototransformation to form the potent ALDH inhibitor Disulfiram under indoor light or 350 nm irradiation, resulting in a time-dependent increase in ALDH inhibitory activity[1].
Sulfiram (1 μM; 24 h) enhances α-cleavage of APP and reduces its β-cleavage, increasing the α/β cleavage ratio in 7W-CHO cells[2].
