Product Information
glycine AI Summary
glycine shows significant bioactivity across multiple domains. It demonstrates binding affinity for the glycine binding site of the NMDA receptor, with reported IC50 values ranging from 86.0 nM to 690.0 nM and a Ki value of 125.89 nM. It inhibits the binding of [3H]5,7-dichlorokynurenic acid and [3H]MK 801 to NMDA receptors, with various EC50 values highlighting its potency across different receptor subunits (NR2A, NR2B, NR2C, and NR2D). glycine exhibits activity in inhibiting the [3H]strychnine binding to glycine receptors (IC50 of 6000.0 nM), GABA transporters (with IC50 values between 1.35µM and 3.1µM), and human LAT1 transporters. It also shows cytotoxicity against drug-resistant KBV1 cells at very high concentrations (>50,000,000.0 nM). Further, glycine demonstrates anticonvulsant and antiepileptic activities by reducing seizure incidence in various tests, such as the MES and strychnine tests, and it also exhibits analgesic effects in mice. The compound has potential antiviral activity by inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 induced cytotoxicity and Ebola viral entry. Biochemical assays reveal it as a potential HDAC6 inhibitor and an antagonist at human glycine alpha-1 receptor with EC50 values around 94,000.0 nM. The physico-chemical properties include a pKa value of 9.8, a logP value of 3.21, and significant human intestinal absorption at 1.0%. Lastly, glycine exhibits a broad spectrum of interactions with various transporters and enzymes, indicating its diverse potential as a pharmacological agent..
