title: [Simple glycine derivatives from lipid transporter systems of glycine. Carrier test of a small-size neutral acid amine to the central nervous system].
abstract: Glycine, an important amino acid, does not cross the blood-brain barrier. Some simple derivatives have been designed to improve the unfavourable physico-chemical parameters: N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine and its methyl ester exhibit anticonvulsant activities superior to the parent amino acid. The incorporation of N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine in a pseudo-triglyceride pattern led to more active substances.
