N-Oleoyl Glycine, a Lipoamino Acid, Stimulates Adipogenesis Associated With Activation of CB1 Receptor and Akt Signaling Pathway in 3T3-L1 Adipocyte

(RS)-(Tetrazol-5-yl)glycine is a potent and selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor agonist that can induce seizure models and Fos expression in mice. Its EC50 values for GluN1/GluN2D and GluN1/GluN2A are 99 nM and 1.7 μM, respectively.

The acyl amides are a family of endogenous lipids that act as potent modulators of pain and inflammation. The best characterized members of this family are the arachidonoyl amides, which includes N-arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA; anandamide). N-palmitoyl glycine (PalGly) contains an 18-carbon saturated fatty acid that is amide-linked to glycine and is structurally similar to the phospholipid-derived N-acyl ethanolamines. Endogenously produced in rat skin and spinal cord, PalGly is present in 100-fold greater amounts in skin and 3-fold greater in brain compared to AEA. Injection of 0.43 μg PalGly in rat hindpaw inhibits heat-induced firing of nociceptive neurons in rat dorsal horn. PalGly treatment induces transient calcium influx in native dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells and in the PTX-sensitive, DRG-like cell line F-11 (EC50 = 5.5 μM).

The ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) found in fish oils provide cardiovascular benefits. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a C22:6 PUFA, is the most abundant ω-3 fatty acid in neural tissues, especially in the retina and brain. It can be synthesized from other dietary ω-3 PUFAs or taken as a nutritional supplement. Docosahexaenoyl glycine consists of DHA with glycine attached at its carboxy terminus.

Betulinic glycine amide, a pentacyclic triterpenoid derivative of betulinic acid, serves as a precursor for synthesizing derivatives with anticancer and antiviral activity.

Glycine-CoA (Glycine-coenzyme A) is a derivative of coenzyme A.

Gamma-glutamyl[S-(2-iodobenzyl)cysteinyl]glycine-CoA (Gamma-glutamyl[S-(2-iodobenzyl)cysteinyl]glycine-coenzyme A) is a derivative of coenzyme A.

N-[Amino(Imino)methyl]glycine-CoA (N-[Amino(Imino)nethyl]glycine-coenzyme A) is a derivative of coenzyme A.

Glycylglycine (Diglycine) is a dipeptide used in biochemical research. It is the simplest of all dipeptides and is used as a starting template for preparation of more complex peptides. Glycine is involved in the body's production of DNA, phospholipids, and collagen, and in the release of energy.

DL-Propargylglycine HCl (DL-Propargyl Glycine HCl) is a potent irreversible inhibitor of cystathionine γ-cleaving enzyme and can be used in the study of heart failure.

N-Arachidonylglycine (NA-Gly) is a heat-dependent circulating metabolite with anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic and antioxidant activities.

Glycine (Standard) is a reference standard for research and analysis in studies involving glycine. Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and a co-agonist of glutamate, enhancing NMDA receptor excitability. It is found in gelatin and silk fibroin and is used as a nutrient in medical treatments.

Hexanoyl Glycine is an acylated amino acid and endogenous metabolite serving as a urinary biomarker, exhibiting inhibitory activity against tyrosinase and urease.

N-(3-Phenylpropionyl)glycine (Phenylpropionylglycine) is an acyl glycine. Acyl glycines are normally minor metabolites of fatty acids. However, the excretion of certain acyl glycines is increased in several inborn errors of metabolism. Acyl glycines are produced through the action of glycine N-acyltransferase which is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:acyl-CoA + glycine < - > CoA + N-acylglycineThe detection of phenylpropionylglycine in urine after an oral load of phenylpropionic acid can be used to diagnose deficiency of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, a frequent and treatable metabolic defect.

Linoleoyl glycine, a modified polyunsaturated fatty acid, is an endogenous homologue of linoleoyl glycine. Linoleoyl glycine activates human KCNQ1/KCNE1 (hKCNQ1/hKCNE1) channels expressed in xenopus oocytes from mammalian skin, spinal cord and brain, and has shown analgesic activity in animal studies.

Glyphosate (Atila) is an herbicide. It also is a possible carcinogen to humans.

Cholic acid sodium (SodiumCholate) exhibits a strong spermicidal and antiviral [anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1] activity.

Cycloleucine is an antagonist of NMDA receptor associated glycine receptor with a Ki of 600 μM. Cycloleucine is also a competitive inhibitor of S-adenosyl-methionine mediated methylation with anxiolytic and cytostatic effects.

LY2365109 hydrochloride is a potent and selective GlyT1 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 15.8 nM for glycine uptake in cells over-expressing [hGlyT1a].

L-689560 is widely used as a radiolabeled ligand in binding studies and used to study the roles of NMDA receptors in normal neurological processes as well as in diseases. At the GluN1 glycine binding site, L-689560 is an effective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NM

Glycolithocholic acid (Lithocholic acid glycine conjugate) is a glycine conjugate of lithocholic acid.

TH1085 is an enhancer of OGG1. TH1085 stimulates DNA repair and protects cells from the environmental hazard paraquat (PQ).

TCID (UCH-L3 Inhibitor)(IC50=0.6 μM) is a DUB inhibitor of ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L3. It has the 125-fold selectivity to L1.

glycine (2-Aminoacetic acid) is a non-essential amino acid. It is found primarily in gelatin and silk fibroin and used therapeutically as a nutrient. It is also a fast inhibitory neurotransmitter.
