The S-linked cysteine and glutathione conjugates of N-methylformamide and N-ethylform-amide, together with a series of methyl ester derivatives thereof, have been synthesized and characterized by* H NMR, 13C NMR, FAB-MS, and FAB tandem mass spectrometry. In vitro cytotoxicity assays showed that all of the title conjugates were toxic to isolated mouse hepatocytes when incubated at concentrations in excess of 1 mM and that they served as potent growth inhibitors of murine TLX5 lymphoma cells when present at levels of 10-100 µ. Both of these effects were reversed by the addition to incubation media of glutathione (10 mM). The possibility is raised that N-alkylcarbamic acid thioester conjugates, which are formed during the metabolism of N-alkylformamides in mammalian systems, may act as important mediators of the anti-neoplastic and/or hepatotoxic activity of the parent formamides, possibly through their ability to liberatemethyl isocyanate at cell membranes.
