N-Succinimidyl N-Methylcarbamate is used as a reagent in the synthesis of Argifin, a natural product chitinase inhibitor with chemotherapeutic potential. N-Succinimidyl N-Methylcarbamate is also used as a reagent in the preparation of 5-Amino-N1-methyl-1H-imidazole-1,4-dicarboxamide (A616300); a metabolite of Temozolomide (T017775) which is an imidazotetrazine alkylating agent and antineoplastic.
ChEBI: N-succinimidyl N-methylcarbamate is a member of the class of pyrrolidinones that is N-hydroxysuccinimide in which the hydroxyl hydrogen is replaced by a methylcarbamoyl group. It has a role as an apoptosis inducer. It is a carbamate ester, a dicarboximide, a pyrrolidinone and a N-hydroxysuccinimide ester. It is functionally related to a succinimide.
