Allylglycine is a glycine derivative. It is an inhibitor of glutamate decarboxylase.[2] Inhibition of glutamate decarboxylase blocks GABA biosynthesis, leading to lower levels of the neurotransmitter.[3] Allylglycine is known to induce seizures in animals studies, presumably due to this GDC-inhibiting activity.[4]
