The small chemical compound acetamide can be metabolically changed into the corresponding ester hydrochloride. A key method in molecular biology, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), is inhibited by this derivative. Although the precise mechanism of this inhibition is yet unknown, theories point to changes to the enzyme or the deactivation of crucial effector proteins.
Moreover, research has investigated acetamide’s and its ester hydrochloride’s possible anti-cancer qualities. These studies have shown certain inhibitory effects on carcinoma cell lines and skin cancer cells.
