Description

Glycine amide, also known as glycinamide, is a simple amino acid derivative with a primary amide group attached to the α-carbon. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in water. Glycine amide is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of purines and other nitrogen-containing compounds. It is also a substrate for the enzyme glycinamide ribotide synthetase, which catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of purines. Glycine amide has been studied as a potential therapeutic agent for a variety of conditions, including cancer, inflammation, and neurological disorders. For example, it has been shown to inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells in vitro. Glycine amide is typically synthesized by the reaction of glycine with ammonia or an amine. It is also found naturally in some organisms, including bacteria and plants.'
