Product Description
N,N-Dimethylglycine HCl is a glycine analogue.
N,N-Dimethylglycine hydrochloride (CAS 2491-06-7), also known as DMG hydrochloride or N-Methylsarcosine hydrochloride, is a quaternary ammonium compound and a derivative of glycine characterized by the presence of two methyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom. With a molecular formula of C₄H₁₀ClNO₂ and a molecular weight of 139.58 g/mol, it appears as a white to almost white crystalline powder. This compound is soluble in water, making it suitable for various applications in biochemical and pharmaceutical contexts. N,N-Dimethylglycine is a natural N-methylated glycine that is used in comparative analysis with other N-methylated glycines such as sarcosine and betaine. N,N-Dimethylglycine hydrochloride is often used as a dietary supplement and is believed to play a role in metabolic processes, particularly in the synthesis of carnitine and the regulation of homocysteine levels. It is also studied for its potential neuroprotective effects and its role in enhancing physical performance. The compound is a synthetic intermediate used in the synthesis of water-soluble prodrug forms of vitamin E and vitamin K1. It is a dietary supplement used to improve autism spectrum disorders.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
