Glycine hydrochloride (CAS: 6000-43-7) is a salt formed by reacting glycine with hydrochloric acid. Its chemical formula is C2H5NO2•HCl. It is a white, crystalline solid with a pungent, salt-like odor. It is used in pharmaceuticals, research, and food additives due to its buffering and stabilizing properties.

Glycine hydrochloride (CAS: 6000-43-7) is primarily used in pharmaceuticals as a buffering agent and stabilizer in the formulation of drugs. It is also used in research for cell culture and as a standard in analytical chemistry. Additionally, it can be added to food products to enhance flavor and act as a preservative.

Glycine hydrochloride (CAS: 6000-43-7) is considered safe for its intended uses. However, it should be handled with care due to its corrosive nature. It is not flammable but can cause eye and skin irritation. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles should be worn during handling.
