General description

Z-Gly-OH, also known as N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine, is an amino acid widely used in solution phase peptide synthesis.

Application

Z-Gly-OH is a versatile reagent that can be used to synthesize a variety of compounds such as:
  • glycine-derived peptides like Z-Gly-DL-Ala-OBzl and Z-Gly-L-Ala-OBzl
  • glycine N-substituted amides such as glycine-N-methylamide hydrochloride and glycine-N-isopropylamide hydrochloride

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

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
