3,4-Methylenedioxycinnamoyl glycine is an alkaloid metabolite that occurs in rats and mice injected with 3'-Hydroxyisosafrole.[1]

It is suspected of also occurring in humans after the ingestion of safrole.


Theoretical Metabolite Route

It's possible that the aldehyde 3,4-methylenedioxycinnamaldehyde could be a transient step between 3,4-methylenedioxycinnamoyl glycine and 3'-Hydroxyisosafrole. Glycine is able to form adducts with some aldehydes. See Cinnamaldehyde for more details.

3'-hydroxyisosafrole 3'-hydroxyisosafrole is oxidized to
3,4-methylenedioxycinnamaldehyde
3,4-methylenedioxycinnamaldehyde condenses with glycine to form 3,4-methylenedioxycinnamoyl glycine
