Storage & Release
GABA, glycine, and glutamate are the only major amino acid neurotransmitters
stored in synaptic vesicles (VIAT)and that GABA and glycine are transported by
similar, if not identical transporters.
Binding & Receptors
Glycine binding with both α & β subtypes receptors.
It is ligand gated ion channel types of receptors and also knowns as inhibitory
chloride channel protein.
Glycine Receptors are Closely Related to GABAa Receptors.
Glycine receptors are the major inhibitory receptors in the spinal cord and brain
stem.
It provide inhibitory functions similar to the GABAa and NMDA receptors.
Activation of NMDA & GlyR Receptors
Receptors Subtypes & its location
Glycine Receptors containing 2 subunits α & β
α-subunit (α1-4) of GlyR contain ↆ
GLRA1 - Spinal cord,Brain stem,Colliculi.

Metabolism
of
Glycine
Reuptake
Glycine is rapidly reuptake into the
presynaptic terminal or surrounding glial
cells with help of two glycine
transporters, GLYT1 and GLYT2, are
known.
Inhibited by Bitopertin, Sarcosine

Glycine
➜Glycine available in tablet & injection form.
➜Rich foods including meat, fish, dairy, and legumes. Glycine can also be
taken as a supplement.
➜Some researchers think glycine may have a role in cancer prevention
because it seems to interfere with the blood supply needed by certain tumors.
use : Glycine is used for treating schizophrenia, stroke, benign prostatic
hyperplasia (BPH), It is also used to protect kidneys from the harmful side
effects of certain drugs used after organ transplantation as well as the liver
from harmful effects of alcohol.
β-Alanine & L-Alanine
Beta-alanine That's a compound produced in muscle endurance in
high-intensity exercise. is commonly used by mouth for improving athletic
performance and building lean muscle mass in younger adults, and
improving physical performance in elderly adults.
Alpha-alanine It is produced from pyruvate by transamination. is used for
low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), diarrhea-related dehydration, liver disease,
enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hypertrophy, BPH), fatigue, stress, and
certain inherited disorders including glycogen storage disease and urea
cycle disorders.
D-Serine & l-Serine
D-serine is a potent co-agonist at the NMDA glutamate receptor . used for
schizophrenia, Parkinson disease, and memory and thinking skills (cognitive
function),
L-serine The conversion of L-serine to glycine by serine
hydroxymethyltransferase results in the formation of the one-carbon units
necessary for the synthesis of the purine bases, adenine and guanine.is
used to improve sleeping, Lou Gehrig's disease
ADR : Nausea, vomiting, and stomach upset,
Taurine & Hypotaurine
Taurine Taurine activates glycine receptors to mediate its effects on
neurons.occurs naturally in the human brain.Taurine is an herbal
supplement that can be used in the treatment for congestive heart failure,
high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cystic fibrosis, and to prevent the
buildup of plaque in the arteries throughout the body.
Hypotaurine is a biosynthesis of taurine. it also acts as an endogenous
neurotransmitter via action on the glycine receptors. It is an osmolyte with
antioxidant properties.
ADR : diarrhea and constipation.
Milacemide
Milacemide (INN) it's a glycine prodrug. directly acting on Glycine
Receptors. It has been studied for its effects on human memory and as a
potential treatment for the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. and also act
as MAO-B Inhibitors.
Drug Acting on Glycine Receptors Antagonist
Selective.
➜Strychnine.
➜Brucine.
➜Tutin.
Non-selective.
➜Bicuculline.
➜Caffeine. ➜Pitrazepin.
➜Picrotoxin. ➜Thiocolchicoside.
Strychnine
Strychnine It primarily affects the motor nerve fibers in the spinal cord
which control muscle contraction. that can be taken by mouth, inhaled
(breathed in), or mixed in a solution and given intravenously. only is a small
amount needed to the patient.
ADR : Agitation,fear,Restlessness.,Easily startled,Jaw tightness
use : It is used in veterinary medicine as CNS stimulant and tonic and
Strychnine causes muscular convulsions
It is used to antidote for barbiturates poisoning & also used for
rodenticide.
Brucine
Brucine closely related to strychnine.
ADR : muscle spasms, convulsions, rhabdomyolysis, and acute kidney
injury.

muscles
Respiratory: episodes of no breathing or shortness of breath
Treatment :
Antibiotic, penicillin, sedative drugs, Dietary supplements.
Tetanus toxoid vaccine.
Bicuculline & picrotoxin
Bicuculline acts as a competitive antagonist at the GABA-binding site of
the GABAa receptor. This model can be used for screening for classical
anticonvulsant drugs,
Picrotoxin It is a noncompetitive antagonist at GABAA receptors & acts as
inhibitory chloride ion channel in GABAa receptors and it is used as a CNS
stimulant, antidote, convulsant,
ADR : unconsciousness, delirium, convulsions, gastro-enteritis and
stimulation of the respiratory centre followed by paralysis, from which
death sometimes results.

use: muscle relaxant with anti-inflammatory analgesic effects spinal cord
disorder and relieve pain after surgery.
Glycine site blocking drug
Kynurenic acid : This drug acting as an
antagonist at excitatory amino acid receptors.
for example NMDA receptors.
This drug is used to antiexcitotoxic and
anticonvulsant
Metabolic disorder of glycine
1) Hyperekplexia (Startle disease)
Hyperekplexia is a rare hereditary, neurological disorder that may
affect infants as newborns (neonatal) or prior to birth (in utero). It may also
affect children and adults.
Individuals with this disorder have an excessive startle reaction (eye
blinking or body spasms) to sudden unexpected noise, movement, or touch.
It is treated by administration of the drug is clonazepam.
2) Glycinuria :
Glycine level increased in blood and CSF. It is a rare disorder. kidney
disorder characterized by the presence of excessive amounts of glycine in
the urine but serum glycine is normal.
It is characterized by increased formation of oxalate renal stone.
Symptoms : encephalopathy, mental retardation, deafness, blindness,
kidney stones, hypertension
Treatment :
⇑ - Water intake - Increases oxalate excretion in urine.
⇓ - oxalate in diet - spinach,beet-root,tea,sesame seeds.
3) Hyperoxaluria :
It is a condition that occurs when there is too much oxalate in urine
To produce kidney stones and loss of kidney function..
It is normally eliminated from the body through the kidneys in the
urine (and can also be eliminated through stool).
Symptoms : Severe or sudden back pain.Blood in the urine.Pain when
urinating.Chills or fever.
It is treated by administration of the drug is oxlumo(lumasiran)

  • 20. Reuptake Glycine is rapidly reuptake into the presynaptic terminal or surrounding glial cells with help of two glycine transporters, GLYT1 and GLYT2, are known. Inhibited by Bitopertin, Sarcosine selective glycine transporters blocking agent GlyT1 blocker : N-Arachidonylglycine
  • 21. Drugs Acting on Glycine Receptors Agonist ➜Glycine ➜β-Alanine ➜L-Alanine ➜D-Serine & L-Serine ➜Taurine ➜Hypotaurine ➜Milacemide
  • 22. Glycine ➜Glycine available in tablet & injection form. ➜Rich foods including meat, fish, dairy, and legumes. Glycine can also be taken as a supplement. ➜Some researchers think glycine may have a role in cancer prevention because it seems to interfere with the blood supply needed by certain tumors. use : Glycine is used for treating schizophrenia, stroke, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), It is also used to protect kidneys from the harmful side effects of certain drugs used after organ transplantation as well as the liver from harmful effects of alcohol.
  • 23. β-Alanine & L-Alanine Beta-alanine That's a compound produced in muscle endurance in high-intensity exercise. is commonly used by mouth for improving athletic performance and building lean muscle mass in younger adults, and improving physical performance in elderly adults. Alpha-alanine It is produced from pyruvate by transamination. is used for low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), diarrhea-related dehydration, liver disease, enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hypertrophy, BPH), fatigue, stress, and certain inherited disorders including glycogen storage disease and urea cycle disorders.
  • 24. D-Serine & l-Serine D-serine is a potent co-agonist at the NMDA glutamate receptor . used for schizophrenia, Parkinson disease, and memory and thinking skills (cognitive function), L-serine The conversion of L-serine to glycine by serine hydroxymethyltransferase results in the formation of the one-carbon units necessary for the synthesis of the purine bases, adenine and guanine.is used to improve sleeping, Lou Gehrig's disease ADR : Nausea, vomiting, and stomach upset,
  • 25. Taurine & Hypotaurine Taurine Taurine activates glycine receptors to mediate its effects on neurons.occurs naturally in the human brain.Taurine is an herbal supplement that can be used in the treatment for congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cystic fibrosis, and to prevent the buildup of plaque in the arteries throughout the body. Hypotaurine is a biosynthesis of taurine. it also acts as an endogenous neurotransmitter via action on the glycine receptors. It is an osmolyte with antioxidant properties. ADR : diarrhea and constipation.
  • 26. Milacemide Milacemide (INN) it's a glycine prodrug. directly acting on Glycine Receptors. It has been studied for its effects on human memory and as a potential treatment for the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. and also act as MAO-B Inhibitors.
  • 27. Drug Acting on Glycine Receptors Antagonist Selective. ➜Strychnine. ➜Brucine. ➜Tutin. Non-selective. ➜Bicuculline. ➜Caffeine. ➜Pitrazepin. ➜Picrotoxin. ➜Thiocolchicoside.
  • 28. Strychnine Strychnine It primarily affects the motor nerve fibers in the spinal cord which control muscle contraction. that can be taken by mouth, inhaled (breathed in), or mixed in a solution and given intravenously. only is a small amount needed to the patient. ADR : Agitation,fear,Restlessness.,Easily startled,Jaw tightness use : It is used in veterinary medicine as CNS stimulant and tonic and Strychnine causes muscular convulsions It is used to antidote for barbiturates poisoning & also used for rodenticide.
