The hepatotoxicity and metabolism of the following close analogs of the hepatotoxic antitumor agent N-methylformamide (NMF) were investigated in CBA/CA mice: N-ethylformamide (NEF), dimethylformamide (DMF), formamide and N-methylacetamide (NMA). Apart from NMF only NEF was potently hepatotoxic as measured by

A cDNA coding for rat cytochrome P450 2E1 was cloned into the multicopy vector pYeDP60 and expressed in haploid RSY6 and diploid RS112 yeast strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae under control of the GAL10-CYC1 promoter. Spectral and catalytic properties of the

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae DGK1 gene encodes a diacylglycerol kinase enzyme that catalyzes the formation of phosphatidate from diacylglycerol. Unlike the diacylglycerol kinases from bacteria, plants, and animals, the yeast enzyme utilizes CTP, instead of ATP, as the phosphate donor in

Hepatotoxic formamides such as N-methylformamide (NMF) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) are metabolized in vivo to N-acetyl-S-(N-methylcarbamoyl)cysteine via oxidation at the formyl carbon, which yields a reactive intermediate. The hypothesis was tested that this biotransformation route can be studied in vitro with
