W pracy oceniano wpływ amidu kwasu izowalerianowego, acetylo-L-karnityny, błękitu metylenowego, cymetydyny, DMSO, EDTA, o-fenantroliny, pirazolu, penicylaminy i teofiliny na aktywność mikrosomalnego systemu utleniania alkoholi. Badania przeprowadzono in vitro z enzymem pochodzącym z wątroby ludzkiej katalizującym reakcję utleniania metanolu.

The treatment of methanol intoxication usually focuses on prevention of methanol conversion to its toxic metabolites due to administration of ethanol or 4-methylpyrasole (4-MP). Nevertheless there is a need for new measures treatment of methanol intoxication. For this reason the influence of some alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitors on the activity of microsomal alcohol oxidising system (MAOS) with methanol as a substrate was assayed. In the present study MAOS activity was measured spectrophotometrically in vitro at physiological pH 7.4 and 37°C, assaying the degree of methanol oxidation. The quantity of arising formaldehyde was measured according with the method of Nash. The source of enzyme was hepatic slices.
