Surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering nanostars for high-precision cancer imaging.

Sci. Transl. Med. 7(271) , 271ra7, (2015)

The inability to visualize the true extent of cancers represents a significant challenge in many areas of oncology. The margins of most cancer types are not well demarcated because the cancer diffusely infiltrates the surrounding tissues. Furthermore, cancers...

Mitochondrial DNA alterations in blood of the humans exposed to N,N-dimethylformamide.

Chem. Biol. Interact. 165(3) , 211-9, (2007)

N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) has been widely used in industries because of its extensive miscibility with water and solvents. Its health effects include hepatotoxicity and male reproductoxicity, possibly linked with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations includ...

Amidic and acetonic cryoprotectants improve cryopreservation of volvocine green algae.

Cryo. Letters 33(3) , 202-13, (2012)

A number of volvocalean green algae species were subjected to a two-step cryopreservation protocol with various cryoprotectants. Potential cryoprotectants were methanol (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylformamide, and hydroxy...

N-methylformamide: antitumour activity and metabolism in mice.

Br. J. Cancer 45(6) , 843-50, (1982)

The antitumour activities of N-methylformamide, N-ethylformamide and formamide against a number of murine tumours in vivo (Sarcoma 180, M5076 ovarian sarcoma and TLX5 lymphoma) have been estimated. In all cases N-methyl-formamide had significant activity, for...

Use of N-methylformamide as a solvent in indium-promoted Barbier reactions en route to enediyne and epoxy diyne formation: comparison of rate and stereoselectivity in C-C bond-forming reactions with water.

J. Org. Chem. 74(16) , 5861-70, (2009)

Indium-promoted coupling reactions between propargyl aldehydes (1) and alpha-chloropropargylphenyl sulfide are reported. Although water has been shown to accelerate indium metal promoted reactions, the reverse pattern was observed in this series. Use of N-met...

Theoretical exploration of the cooperative effect in NMF-NMF-amino acid residue hydrogen bonding system.

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 10(36) , 5607-15, (2008)

This paper presents a theoretical study of the cooperative effect in sixteen linearly-arranged trimer systems consisting of N-methylformamide dimer and an extra amino acid residue. These trimer systems, NMF-NMF-AAR, in short, have been systematically investig...

CH stretching vibration of N-methylformamide as a sensitive probe of its complexation: infrared matrix isolation and computational study.

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 13(31) , 13992-4002, (2011)

The complexes between trans-N-methylformamide (t-NMF) and Ar, N(2), CO, H(2)O have been studied by infrared matrix isolation spectroscopy and/or ab initio calculations. The infrared spectra of NMF/Ne, NMF/Ar and NMF/N(2)(CO,H(2)O)/Ar matrices have been measur...

An effective method for studying intermolecular interactions in binary liquids with hydrogen bonds; FTIR spectra and ab initio calculations in the N-methylformamide-methanol system.

J. Phys. Chem. B 114(17) , 5810-8, (2010)

Molecular complexes in methanol (MeOH)-N-methylformamide (NMF) mixtures were studied based on their FTIR-ATR spectra, to which two methods of analysis were applied: factor analysis and a quantitative version of the difference-spectra method. The mean composit...

N-Methylcarbamoyl-lysine adduct in globin: a new metabolic product and potential biomarker of N, N-dimethylformamide in humans.

Toxicol. Lett. 162(2-3) , 211-8, (2006)

Metabolism of the solvents N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and N-methylformamide (MF) results in the formation of N-methylcarbamoyl adducts at the N-terminal valine and lysine in blood protein globin, of which the lysine adduct has so far only been reported in ra...

Elementary peptide motifs in the gas phase: FTIR aggregation study of formamide, acetamide, N-methylformamide, and N-methylacetamide.

J. Phys. Chem. A 112(33) , 7530-42, (2008)

Cold, isolated peptide model compounds and their aggregates are generated in pulsed supersonic jet expansions and detected by FTIR spectroscopy in the amide-A region, complemented by amide-I spectra. The most stable, symmetric dimer of formamide is unambiguou...
