  • Description Sarcosine is the N-methyl derivative of glycine. It can be metabolized to the glycine through sarcosine dehydrogenase. It can be naturally found in many body tissues including muscles. In the laboratory, sarcosine could be synthesized through the reaction between chloroacetic acid and methylamine. Sarcosine is a potential interesting direction for the treatment of mental illness such as schizophrenia, possibly being related to its effect of increasing the glycine content in the brain, which increased the NMDA receptor activity. Sarcosine is also effective in the treatment of depression. Recent study has shown that sarcosine might be an important bio-marker for prostate cancer.
  • Biological Functions Sarcosine reduces dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by inhibiting the enzyme 5 alphareductase. Sebum production is stimulated by androgens. 5 alpha-reductase metabolises testosterone in the skin into its more potent form dihydrotestosterone (DHT) that is responsible for the overproduction of sebum. As a result, sarcosine reduces shine, tightens and reduces pore size, evens tone and complexion.
  • Uses sarcosine is an intermediate in the production glycine from dietary consumption of choline. It is used in making toothpastes and biodegradable surfactants. Sarcosine can be found in foods such as vegetables, ham, egg yolks, turkey and legumes. The normal concentrations of sarcosine in human serum and in human urine are 1.4 μM and 1.6 μM respectively. Sarcosine has been observed to improve treatment of the mental illness known as schizophrenia: 2 g per day consumption of sarcosine (in addition to antipsychotic drug therapy) results in significant additional reductions not only both positive and negative symptoms, but also general psychopathological and neurocognitive symptoms. Sarcosine is thought to work by increasing glycine concentrations in the brain which causes increased NMDA receptor activation. Interestingly, consumption of sarcosine also reduced depressive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. A clinical study showed sarcosine to be significantly more effective in treating major depression than the established antidepressant drug Citalopram. Has been found in starfish and sea urchins. It is used as intermediate in the synthesis of antienzyme agents for toothpaste. Found to be a marker for prostate cancer bioagression. 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. sarcosine is a naturally occurring amino acid that is used in cosmetic formulations as a skin conditioner. There are some studies indicating that it is effective for oily skin. Its chemical name is n-methyl glycine.
