Description

n-Butyrylglycine is a short-chain fatty acid derivative of glycine, with potential applications in various fields, including nutrition, medicine, and agriculture. Its synthesis typically involves the acylation of glycine with butyric anhydride or butyryl chloride. Studies have explored n-butyrylglycine's effects on various biological processes, such as its potential role in reducing inflammation, promoting gut health, and improving cognitive function. Interest in n-butyrylglycine stems from its ability to modulate metabolic pathways and its potential as a therapeutic agent. Research efforts are underway to understand its mechanism of action, its bioavailability, and its safety for potential clinical applications.'
