In Vitro:

Cell Line
Concentration Treated Time Description References
NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblasts 500 µM 16 hours To evaluate the effect of sarcosine on autophagy. Results showed that sarcosine stimulated basal macroautophagy in a dose-dependent manner and partially enhanced autophagy under serum removal and oxidative stress conditions. Cell Rep. 2018 Oct 16;25(3):663-676. e6
LNCaP cells 1 µM 24 hours Sarcosine stimulated the expression of SARDH and PIPOX in LNCaP cells, increased SAMe production and DNA methylation. Mol Oncol. 2019 May;13(5):1002-1017
22Rv1 cells 1 µM 24 hours Sarcosine stimulated the expression of SARDH and PIPOX in 22Rv1 cells, increased SAMe production and DNA methylation. Mol Oncol. 2019 May;13(5):1002-1017
PNT1A cells 1 µM 24 hours Sarcosine stimulated the expression of SARDH and PIPOX in PNT1A cells, increased SAMe production and DNA methylation. Mol Oncol. 2019 May;13(5):1002-1017
PC9 0.5 mM 24 hours To evaluate the effect of Sarcosine on ferroptosis, results showed that Sarcosine significantly enhanced RSL3 and IKE-induced ferroptosis. Exp Hematol Oncol. 2025 Apr 24;14(1):60
A549 0.5 mM 24 hours To evaluate the effect of Sarcosine on ferroptosis, results showed that Sarcosine significantly enhanced RSL3 and IKE-induced ferroptosis. Exp Hematol Oncol. 2025 Apr 24;14(1):60
Murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells 20 mM 24 hours To evaluate the effect of sarcosine on dendritic cell migration, results showed that sarcosine significantly increased dendritic cell migration J Immunother Cancer. 2019 Nov 21;7(1):321

In Vivo:

Species
Animal Model
Administration Dosage Frequency Description References
Fischer 344 × Brown Norway (FBN) hybrid male rats Aged rats Dietary supplementation 1,250 mg/kg 8 weeks To evaluate the effect of sarcosine supplementation on the metabolome and autophagy in aged rats. Results showed that sarcosine supplementation increased plasma sarcosine levels, altered the metabolome, and enhanced autophagic flux in the liver. Cell Rep. 2018 Oct 16;25(3):663-676. e6
Mice Toluene-induced motor incoordination, memory impairment, and hypothermia model Intraperitoneal injection 100 and 300 mg/kg Single dose, 30 min pretreatment Sarcosine pretreatment reversed toluene-induced motor incoordination, memory impairment, and hypothermia but did not affect toluene-induced enhancement of brain stimulation reward Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2012 Dec 1;265(2):158-65
BALB/c nude mice Xenograft model Oral 2 mM Every three days for a total of six treatments To validate the effect of Sarcosine on ferroptosis and chemosensitivity in vivo, results showed that Sarcosine enhanced the efficacy of cisplatin. Exp Hematol Oncol. 2025 Apr 24;14(1):60
Rats Rapid kindling model of epileptogenesis Intraperitoneal injection 3 g/kg Once daily for 5 days To evaluate the antiepileptogenic effect of sarcosine and its effects on hippocampal DNA methylation. Results showed that sarcosine significantly suppressed epileptogenesis in rats, accompanied by suppressed hippocampal GlyT1 expression, reduced 5mC levels, and increased 5hmC levels.
