Dimethyl sulfate is a diester of methanol and sulfuric acid. Dimethyl sulfate is commonly used as a reagent for the methylation of phenols, amines, and thiols. Dimethyl sulfate is a potent genotoxic chemical. It can directly alkylate DNA both in vitro and in vivo. It have been shown to induce mutations, chromosomal aberrations, and other genetic alterations in a diversity of organisms. Dimethyl sulfate can cause severe burns to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Systemic effects of dimethyl sulfate include damage to the liver and kidneys.

A single dose of dimethyl sulfate giving an initial concentration of 400 uM raised the levels of nuclear monomeric and polymeric (ADPribose) residues within 20 min to 12- and 21-fold higher values,
respectively, as compared to the low basal amounts detected in untreated control cells.
