description Summary Background Fulminant hepatic necrosis ("halothane hepatitis") is an unusual and often fatal complication of halothane anaesthesia. It is mediated by immune sensitisation in susceptible individuals to trifluoroacetylated liver protein neoantigens, formed by oxidative halothane metabolism. The seminal event in halothane hepatitis is hepatic metabolism, yet the enzyme responsible for oxidative halothane metabolism and trifluoroacetylated neoantigen formation remains unidentified. This investigation tested the hypothesis that cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) is responsible for human halothane metabolism in vivo. Methods 20 elective surgical patients received either disulfiram (500 mg orally, n=10) or nothing (controls, n=10) the night before surgery. Disulfiram, converted in vivo to an effective inhibitor of P450 2E1, was used as a metabolic probe for P450 2E1. All patients received standard halothane anaesthesia (1·0% end-tidal, 3 h). Blood halothane and plasma and urine trifluoroacetic acid, bromide, and fluoride concentrations were measured for up to 96 h postoperatively. Findings Total halothane dose, measured by cumulative end-tidal (3·8 SE 0·1 minimum alveolar concentration hours) and blood halothane concentrations, was similar in the two groups. Plasma concentrations and urinary excretion of trifluoroacetic acid and bromide, indicative of oxidative and total (oxidative and reductive) halothane metabolism, respectively, were significantly diminished in disulfiram-treated patients. In control and disulfiram-treated patients cumulative 96 h postoperative trifluoroacetic acid excretion was 12 900 (SE 1700) and 2010 (440) μmol, respectively (p
