Descriptions:
pubchem: 1,2-Dimethylhydrazine can cause cancer according to an independent committee of scientific and health experts.
chebi: A member of the class of hydrazines that is hydrazine in which one of the hydrogens attached to each nitrogen is replaced by a methyl group. A powerful DNA alkylating agent and carcinogen, it is used to induce colon cancer in laboratory rats and mice.
chembl: Unnamed Compound is a small molecule listed in the ChEMBL database but has not progressed to an approved clinical phase.
wikipedia: Symmetrical dimethylhydrazine (SDMH), or 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, is the organic compound with the formula (CH3NH)2. It is one of the two isomers of dimethylhydrazine. Both isomers are colourless liquids at room temperature, with properties like those of methylamines. Symmetrical dimethylhydrazine is a potent carcinogen that acts as a DNA methylating agent. The compound has no commercial value, in contrast to its isomer unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine(1,1-dimethylhydrazine, UDMH), which is used as a rocket fuel. SDMH is more toxic than unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and is often considered an unwanted impurity in UDMH.
It is used to induce colon tumors in experimental animals, particularly mice and feline cell samples.
