General description

Glycidamide, an active epoxide metabolite of acrylamide with potential biological activity, can be generated in vivo. Its mutagenic and genotoxic nature is well-known.

Application

Glycidamide may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in human and animal biological samples by various chromatography techniques.

Other Notes

In the summer of 2008 research scientists at the Technical University of Munich besides acrylamide detected glycidamide in potato crisps. Glycidamide is a metabolite of acrylamide.

Acrylamide has shown developmental and reproductive toxicity in animals, as well as neurotoxic effects in humans with occupational exposures. Because it is widespread in food and can pass through the human placenta, concerns have been raised about potential developmental effects

Glycidamide (GA) is the epoxy metabolite of acrylamide (AA). A sensitive analytical method for quantitative measurement of GA from in vitro metabolism studies is useful in several contexts, e.g. in studies of enzyme kinetics in different species and factors influencing

When employing metabolism studies of genotoxic compounds/metabolites and cancer tests for risk estimation, low exposure doses in humans are roughly extrapolated from high exposure doses in animals. An improvement is to measure the in vivo dose, i.e. area under concentration-time

Acrylamide is a common dietary exposure that crosses the human placenta. It is classified as a probable human carcinogen, and developmental toxicity has been observed in rodents. We examined the associations between prenatal exposure to acrylamide and birth outcomes in
