Both chloral hydrate and trichloroethanol inhibited mouse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH) in vitro. The inhibition of LADH by chloral hydrate appears to be non-competitive in nature with an inhibition constant (Ki) of about 2.7 X 10(-4) M. The inhibition of LADH by trichloroethanol was competitive and the (Ki) was about 2.7 X 10(-5) M. The elimination of ethanol from the blood and brain was significantly reduced in chloral hydrate- or trichloroethanol-pretreated mice. Since reduced elimination of ethanol could result in the prolongation of its central depressant activity, we suggest that this should be considered as a factor in the enhanced pharmacological effects of ethanol-chloral hydrate mixtures.
