Description

Diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) is a reactive chemical that can be used as a methylating agent. It reacts with the hydroxyl group of carotenoids, including β-carotene, to produce x-ray crystal structures with the alcohol methanol solvent. DAST also reacts with 6alkyl and methyl glycosides, such as sucrose, producing a hydroxy derivative. DAST has been shown to have carcinogenic properties in tumor cell lines and is able to induce apoptosis in these cells by damaging their DNA. The use of DAST for cancer treatment can be done through laser ablation or injection into tumors.
