HIDE SMILES / InChI
N-palmitoyl glycine, an endogenous lipid that acts as a modulator of calcium influx and nitric oxide production in sensory neurons. N-palmitoyl glycine is used in cosmetic under the brand name TIMECODE™ for deep wrinkles and helps relieve chronic silent inflammation, increases micro-circulation due to poor oxygenation and lack of nutrients. This product is also recommended for sensitive skin and for tired skin.

Route of Administration: Topical
To investigate the effect of N-palmitoyl glycine (PalGly) on primary sensory neurons, calcium influx was recorded in the DRG-like F-11 cells (rat dorsal root ganglion neuron × mouse neuroblastoma). PalGly (10 μM) induced a transient influx of calcium in F-11 cells. The effect was immediate, and the initial increase was followed by a gradual return to baseline after 5 min of PalGly addition, with an EC50 = 5.5 μM.
