In my research for ALDH inhibitors I found Durian fruit contains some, including diethyl disulfide.Tipplersbane mushrooms contain a natural compound that is an aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor which we intended to add as in effect, it's action is like that of Antabuse (disulfiram).
Several studies have shown that VSCs which have been extracted from natural resources inhibit the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), the key enzyme in alcohol metabolism with the ability to catalyze acetaldehyde to acetic acid [7,8,9].
VSCs, especially diethyl disulfide, possess similar disulfide bond structures as disulfiram; they may inhibit ALDH activity by following the same inhibition mechanism [7,8]. Diethyl disulfide is one of the most abundant VSCs in durian fruit.
