Abstract: Obesity is a top public health concern, and a molecule that safely treats obesityis urgently needed. Disulfiram (known commercially as Antabuse), an FDA-approved treatmentfor chronic alcohol addiction, exhibits anti-inflammatory properties and helps protectagainst certain types of cancer. Here, we show that in mice disulfiram treatment preventedbody weight gain and abrogated the adverse impact of an obesogenic diet on insulinresponsiveness while mitigating liver steatosis and pancreatic islet hypertrophy.Additionally, disulfiram treatment reversed established diet-induced obesity and metabolicdysfunctions in middle-aged mice. Reductions in feeding efficiency and increases inenergy expenditure were associated with body weight regulation in response to long-termdisulfiram treatment. Loss of fat tissue and an increase in liver fenestrations werealso observed in rats on disulfiram. Given the potent anti-obesogenic effects in rodents,repurposing disulfiram in the clinic could represent a new strategy to treat obesityand its metabolic comorbidities.
