Sarcosine Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Chemical Properties
White crystalline powder
Uses
Sarcosine can improve people's intelligence, especially for exams such as the students need to temporarily increase the effectiveness of intelligence is more obvious. sarcosine can increase muscle strength and anaerobic explosiveness.To prevent damage caused by the brain injury. Sarcosine can effectively improve athletic performance,power, and shorten muscle recovery time.
Uses
Sarcosine is an important component for the production of the amino acid glycine and a byproduct of glycine breakdown. In the body, it is produced by converting dietary choline to glycine or breaking down methionine into glycine. It can also be synthesized in the laboratory with chloroacetic acid and methylamine. Sarcosine has a unique mild sweetness. Since a derivative of creatine helps prevent tooth decay and causes foam, it acts as an ingredient in toothpaste. Sarcosine can also be used as a drug, and research over the past 20 years has revealed its role in treating mental health disorders such as schizophrenia and depression.
Definition
ChEBI: Sarcosine is a N-alkylglycine that is the N-methyl derivative of glycine. It is an intermediate in the metabolic pathway of glycine. It has a role as a glycine transporter 1 inhibitor, a glycine receptor agonist, a human metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a N-alkylglycine, a N-methyl-amino acid and a member of N-methylglycines. It is a conjugate base of a sarcosinium. It is a conjugate acid of a sarcosinate. It is a tautomer of a sarcosine zwitterion.
General Description
Deliquescent crystals or powder. Has a sweetish taste.
Air & Water Reactions
Deliquescent. Water soluble.
Reactivity Profile
Sarcosine is an amide. Amides/imides react with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Flammable gases are formed by the reaction of organic amides/imides with strong reducing agents. Amides are very weak bases (weaker than water). Imides are less basic yet and in fact react with strong bases to form salts. That is, they can react as acids. Mixing amides with dehydrating agents such as P2O5 or SOCl2 generates the corresponding nitrile. The combustion of these compounds generates mixed oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Sarcosine is incompatible with acids. .
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for Sarcosine are not available. Sarcosine is probably combustible.
Biological Activity
Endogenous inhibitor of GlyT1 that displays antipsychotic activity. Potentiates the action of glycine on the NMDA glycine binding site.
Side effects
Sarcosine, a dietary supplement, is generally considered harmless with minimal side-effects. However, some individuals report experiencing euphoria and hyperactivity after consuming it. Men taking sarcosine may have an increased risk for prostate cancer, while others may experience sleeplessness, irritability, and headaches.

Purification Methods
Crystallise sarcosine from absolute EtOH, 95% EtOH or H2O. It sublimes at 180-185o/0.3mm with 99.1% recovery [Gross & Gradsky J Am Chem Soc 77 1678 1955]. [Cocker & Harris J Chem Soc 1291 1940, Cocker & Lapworth J Chem Soc 1897 1931, Greenstein & Winitz The Chemistry of the Amino Acids J. Wiley, Vol 3 p 2750 1961, Beilstein 4 III 1121, 4 IV 2363.]
