3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamoylglycine is a theoretical alkaloid metabolite of elemicin believed to be psychedelic in humans.
3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamoylglycine is believed to be the glycine conjugate of 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid or simply an adduct of 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamaldehyde and glycine.
The closely related 4-Methoxycinnamoylglycine is a proven alkaloid metabolite of methyl chavicol found in humans.

Theoretical Metabolism Sequence
3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamoylglycine is believed to form when glycine condenses with the aldehyde 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamaldehyde, a metabolite of elemicin.
Elemicin | 3'-hydroxyisoelemicin | 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamaldehyde | 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamoylglycine |
---|---|---|---|
Elemicin is ingested orally | Elemicin is hydroxylated at the 3 position creating 3'-hydroxyisoelemicin | 3'-hydroxyisoelemicin is oxidized to form 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamaldehyde | 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamaldehyde condenses with glycine creating an the alkaloid adduct 3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamoylglycine |
