Etymology

Glyoxaline comes from glyoxal, the name of a related small chemical, plus the common chemical ending -ine. The glyoxal part comes from Greek roots glyk- 'sweet' and ox- 'sharp' or 'acid', a name for tiny active molecules, so glyoxaline is remembered as a small nitrogen compound that can 'block' histamine.
