Glycine, which has weak anticonvulsant properties, has been shown to potentiate the activity of several antiepileptic drugs but not phenytoin. Recently, studies have shown that N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)glycine (Z-glycine) antagonized seizures more than glycine in addition to possessing activity in the maximal

Although glycine does not cross easily the blood-brain barrier, it exhibits at very high doses (10-40 mmol kg-1) a modest anticonvulsant activity. In this study, carbamate derivatives--N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine (Z-glycine) and N,tert-butoxycarbonylglycine (Boc-glycine)--have been compared with glycine. Z-glycine (1 mmol kg-1), but
