N-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyl)-N-methyltrifluoroacetamide is an analytical method for measuring the concentration of hydrogen fluoride in human serum. It is used as a reagent to extract metabolic compounds from wastewater and to measure the quantity of chlorogenic acids in plant leaves. This compound is also used as a reagent for gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis of the aromatic amines, which are carcinogens. N-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyl)-N-methyltrifluoroacetamide has been shown to inhibit proliferation of HL-60 cells, which are derived from a myeloid leukemia cell line, and colon cancer cell lines. This compound has been shown to be effective against colon cancer cells through its ability to induce apoptosis.
