N-substituted Glycines

N-substituted glycines are compounds where a substituent (usually an amine) is linked at the nitrogen atom of a glycine molecule, resulting in a modified version of the original molecule. These compounds are used in various genetically engineered therapeutic products, such as peptide drugs, as they can enhance the effectiveness of these drugs and also allow them to be more easily absorbed into the body. N-substituted glycines can also be used in other applications, such as dietary supplements, and have been found to be very effective in reducing inflammation and providing cell protection. Furthermore, they have been studied for their potential therapeutic effects in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. As such, N-substituted glycines are an important part of modern medicine, providing numerous beneficial uses and potential applications.
