N-Nitrosodimethylamine
N-Nitrosodimethylamine is found in pepper (Capsicum annuum). N-Nitrosodimethylamine is a food contaminant especially in cured meat products. N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), also known as dimethylnitrosamine (DMN), is a semi-volatile organic chemical that is highly toxic and is a suspected human carcinogen. The US Environmental Protection Agency has determined that the maximum admissible concentration of NDMA in drinking water is 7 ng L 1. The EPA has not yet set a regulatory maximum contaminant level (MCL) for drinking water. At high doses, it is a "potent hepatotoxin that can cause fibrosis of the liver" in rats. The induction of liver tumors in rats after chronic exposure to low doses is well-documented. Its toxic effects on humans are inferred from animal experiments but not well-established experimentally. NDMA is an industrial by-product or waste product of several industrial processes. It first came to attention as a groundwater contaminant in California in 1998 and 1999 at several sites that produced rocket fuel. Manufacturing of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH), which is a component of rocket fuel that requires NDMA for its synthesis, proved to be the culprit in these cases. Of more general concern, water treatment via chlorination or chloramination of organic nitrogen-containing wastewater can lead to the production of NDMA at potentially harmful levels. Further, NDMA can form or be leached during treatment of water by anion exchange resins. Finally, NDMA is found at low levels in numerous items of human consumption including cured meat, fish, beer, and tobacco smoke, it is, however, unlikely to bioaccumulate CONFIDENCE standard compound; EAWAG_UCHEM_ID 3447 Food contaminant especies in cured meat products
Acetylhydrazine
The acetylhydrazine metabolite was found to be much less cytotoxic than hydrazine in this hepatocyte inflammation model. (PMID: 18295292) In the pathogenesis of isoniazid-induced hepatic injury, cytochrome P450-dependent metabolic activation of the metabolite, acetylhydrazine (AcHz), is the crucial step. (PMID: 8852701) The mechanism of action of acetylphosphabenzide is likely to involve the formation of acetylhydrazine, capable of producing active electrophiles attacking DNA.

glycinamide
glycinamide, also known as AMINOMETHYLAMIDE or 2-amino-Acetamide, is classified as a member of the Carboximidic acids. Carboximidic acids are organic acids with the general formula RC(=N)-OH (R=H, organic group). glycinamide is considered to be soluble (in water) and relatively neutral
acetohydrazide
A carbohydrazide that is hydrazine in which one of the hydrogens is replaced by an acetyl group.
