Description

Methyl carbamate is a carbamate that inhibits a number of enzymes, including mitochondrial membrane potential, cell nuclei, and dinucleotide phosphate. It also inhibits the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and proteins. Methyl carbamate has been shown to inhibit the growth of infectious diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis. It is a potent inhibitor of hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer. Methyl carbamate is used in analytical chemistry to determine the amount of an unknown compound in a sample by measuring its concentration with mass spectrometry or other methods. The compound can be prepared in various ways depending on the type of analysis needed. Methyl carbamate is usually prepared by reacting methyl iodide with sodium cyanide at 150 °C for 24 hours.
