Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
/N,N-DIMETHYLACETAMIDE/ ... READILY ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN ... .
N,N-dimethylacetamide is rapidly absorbed through biological membranes.
No correlation between personal airborne exposure and excretion of mono-methylacetamide in urine was detected during a full workshift (5 days). Most (n = 6) workers studied (n = 8) excreted about 13% of the calculated inhaled dose as metabolite in urine.
DMAC is readily absorbed in man after oral, dermal, or inhalation exposure. ... About 2% of a dose of dimethylacetamide is recovered in the urine as MMAC /N-methylacetamide/ after inhalation; 10% is recovered after inhalation plus skin exposure. Exposure to 10 ppm of DMAC results in complete excretion of MMAC with in 30 hr. Maximal concns of 45 & 100 ppm (mg/L) of MMAC in the urine are found in subjects exposed both by inhalation & skin. In workers continuously exposed to DMAC vapor (inhalation plus skin) & subjected to DMAC airborne levels of 6-22 ppm ..., about 13.5% of the estimated dose is excreted as MMAC in the urine. Some workers may excrete about 30% of a dose as MMAC.

Metabolism / Metabolites
N-DEMETHYLATION OF ... DIMETHYLACETAMIDE OCCURRED IN RAT, RESPECTIVE MONOMETHYLAMIDES APPEARING IN URINE ... IN THE CASE OF DIMETHYLACETAMIDE WAS DIDEMETHYLATED PRODUCT, ACETAMIDE, ALSO FOUND.
ANALYSIS OF HUMAN URINE AFTER OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO DIMETHYLACETAMIDE SHOWS N-METHYLACETAMINE. /FROM TABLE/
Gas chromatographic analysis of the urine of rats which had received dimethylacetamide by the subcutaneous route indicated the presence of N-methyl-acetamide and acetamide. Both metabolites were also found ... in incubation mixtures of dimethylacetamide with rat liver homogenate. N-Methylacetamide was detected in the urine of human volunteers who had inhaled dimethylacetamide or absorbed dimethylacetamide vapor through the skin. Measurement of the amount of the metabolite N-methylacetamide excreted by individuals exposed to dimethylacetamide vapors with or without face masks which allowed the inhalation of air free of dimethylacetamide indicated that more dimethylacetamide was absorbed through the lung than through the skin. ... Only 2-10% of the amount of dimethylacetamide inhaled was recovered in the urine in the form of N-methylacetamide. It has been suggested that the major urinary metabolite of the analogous dimethylformamide is N-(hydroxymethyl)-N-methylformamide and not N-methylformamide, since the carbinolamide decomposes on the gas chromatography column (to N-methylformamide) but is relatively stable in aqueous solution. In analogy, it would be logical to assume that the N-methylacetamide found in the urine after exposure to dimethylacetamide really arose from chemical breakdown of N-(hydroxymethyl)-N-methylacetamide during the analytical process.
N,N-dimethylacetamide is metabolized by demethylation first to monomethyl derivatives and then to the parent acetamide.

PCC4azal embryonal carcinoma tumors were grown in strain 129 mice by sc transplantation. When palpable, the tumors were treated with a combination of retinoic acid and dimethylacetamide. In vitro, this embryonal carcinoma cell line shows minimal spontaneous differentiation and is exquistely sensitive to retinoic acid and/or dimethylacetamide induction of differentiation. Ten daily 20 ul intratumor injections of a solution of 10 mg retinoic acid per ml of dimethylacetamide resulted in nearly complete induction of morphological differentiation mainly into neuropithelial and glandular derivatives. Control tumors showed minor spontaneous differentiation. Differentiation was associated with decreased tumor growth rate, decreased mitotic index, decreased extent of necrosis, and increased survival time of the hosts. In 4 of 18 cases, long-term survival of the hosts was effected by a complete differentiation of the malignant embryonal carcinoma tumors into benign teratomas. Retinoic acid: dimethylacetamide was also effective in inducing differentiation with the same dosage and schedule when admin systemically, ie, ip or sc.

N,N-Dimethylacetamide can cause cancer according to California Labor Code. It can cause developmental toxicity and male reproductive toxicity according to an independent committee of scientific and health experts.
Dimethylacetamide appears as a clear colorless liquid with a faint odor similar to ammonia. About the same density as water. Flash point 145 °F. Vapors heavier than air. May by toxic by skin absorption. May irritate eyes and skin.
N,n-dimethyl acetamide solution (40% or less) is a colorless liquid with a slight ammonia-like odor. (USCG, 1999)
N,N-dimethylacetamide is a member of the class of acetamides that is acetamide in which the hydrogens attached to the N atom have been replaced by two methyl groups respectively. Metabolite observed in cancer metabolism. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is a member of acetamides and a monocarboxylic acid amide. It is functionally related to an acetamide.
N,N-Dimethylacetamide is a dipolar aprotic solvent and reagent that may be used in the production of fibers and pharmaceuticals, and as a non-aldehyde fixative.
Hallucinogen is any naturally-derived or synthetic substance that can induce hallucinations.
