Glyphosine was introduced in 1973 and is preferably used in sugar beets. The synthesis starting with glycine uses two equivalents of formaldehyde and of phosphorous trichloride under oxidative conditions. A second derivative of Glyphosate is a cyclic phosphaoxazole being formed from Glyphosate and formaldehyde. This compound is claimed to control the growth of some grasses without dis- coloration or phytotoxicity.
Application: Complexing agent; pK-values: pK1: ·2, pK2: 2.0, pK3: 5.20, pK4: 6.77, pK5: 10.89
Anti-diabetic; delay onset of diabetes in non-obese NOD mice
Glyphosine binds to a pocket of MHC class II molecules I-Ag7 and DQ8, and modify T cell responses to the autoantigenic insulin B chain fragment 9–23 (B:9–23) peptide. Glyphosine stimulate IL-10 production and delay onset of diabetes in non-obese NOD mice.
Chemical ripener; plant growth regulator.
ChEBI: A tertiary amino compound that consists of glycine bearing two N-phosphonomethyl substituents.
N,N-Bis(phosphonomethyl)glycine was present in the ligand bound to human apotransferrin.
