Glycine reuptake inhibitor

A glycine reuptake inhibitor (GRI) is a type of drug which inhibits the reuptake of the neurotransmitter glycine by blocking one or more of the glycine transporters (GlyTs). Examples of GRIs include bitopertin (RG1678), , Org 25935, , and sarcosine, which are selective GlyT1 blockers, and and N-arachidonylglycine, which are selective GlyT2 blockers.^[1]^[2] Some weak and/or non-selective GlyT blockers include amoxapine and ethanol (alcohol).^[3]
