Glycine

Glycine is the simplest amino acid. In the human body, glycine is found in high concentrations in the skin, connective tissues of the joints and muscle tissue. It's one of the key amino acids used to form collagen and gelatin. Glycine can be found in bone broth and other protein sources.


Glycine Adducts

Glycine and other amino acids are capable of forming adducts with some aldehydes. See Cinnamaldehyde for more details.

Aldehyde Adducts

Several allylbenzene aldehyde metabolites have been shown to form alkaloid adducts of glycine in animal and human tests. For example, 4-Methoxycinnamoylglycine and 4-Methyoxybenzoyl-N-glycine are alkaloid metabolites of methyl chavicol detected in human urine after the oral ingestion of methyl chavicol.[1]

4-Methoxycinnamoylglycine
3,4-methylenedioxycinnamoyl glycine
3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamoylglycine
CHEMBL3752982

Other Adducts

4-Methyoxybenzoyl-N-glycine
