TETRAGLYCINE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white powder

Uses

peptide synthesis

Biological Activity

Tetraglycine is used with copper (Cu-II) to study mechanisms of hydrogen peroxide/bicarbonate free radical production and effect in vitro.

in vivo

Tetraglycine and Triglycine (1.0 μmol glycine/g body wt (246.22 mg/kg), injected into a central vein) results in greater glycine concentration in the kidney than injection of either Glycine.html" class="link-product" target="_blank">Glycine (HY-Y0966) or Diglycine[1].

Animal Model:Male Sprague-Dawley rats (270-300 g)[1]
Dosage:1.0 μmol glycine/g body wt (246.22 mg/kg)
Administration:IV, injected over a period of 30 s
Result:Five minutes after the Tetraglycine injection, there were accumulations of diglvcine, triglvcine, and Tetraglycine in the kidney.

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from H2O (optionally, by the addition of EtOH). [Li et al. J Am Chem Soc 79 5859 1957, Rising et al. J Am Chem Soc 56 1179 1934, Beilstein 4 II 807, 4 III 1201, 4 IV 2472.]
