Disease relevance of N-methylethanamide

 

High impact information on N-methylethanamide

  • Effective "dimerization" of dimethyl sulfoxide through a linear polymethylene chain increases its inducing activity by a magnitude similar to that observed when N-methylacetamide is effectively dimerized in such a manner [2].
  • In the present report, it is shown that this apparent hydrophobicity results from an underestimation of the free energy contribution that the methyl groups make to the transfer of N-methylacetamide from water to CCl4 [3].
  • Ab initio MP2 and density functional quantum chemistry calculations are used to explore geometries and vibrational properties of N-methylacetamide and of the alanine dipeptide with backbone angles characteristic of helix and sheet regions in proteins [4].
  • DFT calculations at the B3LYP/D95++(d,p) level of clusters of N-methylacetamide (NMA) with one, two, and three waters that were geometrically optimized on the counterpoise-corrected potential energy surfaces show that the gas-phase enthalpy of the interactions of NMA with three waters is -14.11 kcal/mol [5].
  • When some or all of the hydrogen atoms of formamide are replaced by methyl groups, the total number of water molecules hydrogen-bonding with the attacking hydroxide in the transition state decreases from three for formamide to two for N-methylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) [6].
 

Biological context of N-methylethanamide

 

Associations of N-methylethanamide with other chemical compounds

  • Treatment of animals with N-methylacetamide, a diabetogen which does not cause insulin deficiency in the animal but rather produces an insulin-resistant state, did not affect the metabolism in vitro of either hexobarbital or aniline [12].
  • By carrying out molecular dynamics simulations of an N-methylacetamide (NMA) in methanol solution, the amide I mode frequency fluctuation and hydrogen bonding dynamics were theoretically investigated [13].
  • Apparently, the effects of poly-L-lysine were superior to those produced by N-methyl-acetamide, a potent inducer of differentiation "in vitro" [14].
  • Creatinine-adjusted NMAC concentration in urine for each volunteer within 12 h after the exposure was more closely correlated with the total excretion amount of NMAC up to 36 h than with urinary-volume-adjusted or specific-gravity-adjusted NMAC concentration in both the dermal and inhalation exposure experiments [15].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of N-methylethanamide

  • The results of classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and Raman spectroscopy studies of neat liquid N-methylacetamide (NMA), the simplest model system relevant to the peptides, are reported as a function of temperature and pressure [16].
