Pharmaceutical Chemistry

Glycine

Formula: NH2-CH2-COOH GOST/CAS: CAS: 56-40-6

Glycine (Pharmaceutical Grade) is the simplest aliphatic amino acid, acting as a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. The product is a white crystalline powder with a sweetish taste, readily soluble in water. Due to its high purity level and strict compliance with pharmacopoeia standards, glycine is indispensable in the production of nootropic and sedative medications, dietary supplements, specialized sports nutrition, and the cosmetics industry.

Applications

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Used as an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) for the production of tablets, capsules, and powders designed to reduce psycho-emotional tension, enhance memory, and normalize sleep patterns.

Dietary Supplements & Sports Nutrition: Included in the formulations of nervous system recovery complexes, anti-stress products, and pre-workout blends. Helps protect muscle tissue from catabolism and accelerates metabolism.

Clinical Medicine & Solutions: Applied as a component in parenteral nutrition (amino acid solutions), as well as a buffering agent in various liquid dosage forms and ophthalmic preparations.

Cosmetics Industry: Introduced into anti-aging cosmetics, moisturizing creams, serums, and hair care products to improve structure, provide deep hydration, and protect against free radicals.

Key Advantages

Pharmacopoeia Quality & Purity: Manufactured in strict compliance with the standards of leading global pharmacopoeias (USP, EP, BP, ChP). The assay content is not less than 98.5%, while impurities and heavy metals are kept to an absolute minimum.

High Bioavailability: Being an amino acid natural to the body, glycine is rapidly absorbed by tissues, easily penetrates the blood-brain barrier, and immediately integrates into metabolic processes.

Excellent Technological Properties: Features optimal flowability, a stable particle size distribution, and good compressibility, which significantly facilitates the direct compression process in tablet manufacturing.

Safety & Eco-Friendliness: Non-toxic, non-addictive, and causes no withdrawal syndrome. It is completely safe for personnel when standard handling precautions for powdered substances are followed.
