N-Acetylleucine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as leucine and derivatives. Leucine and derivatives are compounds containing leucine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of leucine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or fro

L-Leucine ((S)-Leucine) is one of nine essential amino acids in humans (provided by food), L-Leucine is important for protein synthesis and many metabolic functions. L-Leucine contributes to regulation of blood-sugar levels; growth and repair of muscle and bone tissue; growth hormone production; and wound healing. L-Leucine also prevents breakdown of muscle proteins after trauma or severe stress and may be beneficial for individuals with phenylketonuria. L-Leucine is available in many foods and deficiency is rare.

Glycyl-L-leucine (Gly-Leu) is a substrate for the assay of glycyl-L-leucine dipeptidase.

6-Diazo-5-oxo-L-nor-Leucine (L-6-Diazo-5-oxonorleucine) is a glutaminase antagonist (Ki: 6 μM) and an antineoplastic antibiotic produced by an unidentified Streptomyces species from Peruvian soil.

N-Benzoyl-L-Leucine is a useful organic compound for research related to life sciences and the catalog number is T131571.

[Leu5]-Enkephalin acetate(58822-25-6 free base) is an endogenous neuropeptide involved in nociception and an agonist of δ-opioid and μ-opioid receptors (Kis = 4.0 and 3.4 nM, respectively)

3-Amino-4-methylpentanoic acid (DL-Homovaline) is a beta-amino acid that is pentanoic acid substituted at positions 3 and 4 by amino and methyl groups respectively. It has a role as a human metabolite.

[Leu5]-Enkephalin (Leu-enkephalin) is an endogenous neuropeptide involved in nociception and an agonist of δ-opioid and μ-opioid receptors (Kis = 4.0 and 3.4 nM, respectively)

Methylglutaric acid is a leucine metabolite. A large amount of methylglutaric acid is identified in urine of patients with deficiency of 3-methylglutaconyl coenzyme A hydratase (PMID 6181239 ). Methylglutaric acid is also found to be associated with 3-hyd

L-Norleucine ((S)-Norleucine) is an isomer of leucine, specifically affects protein synthesis in skeletal muscle, and has antivirus activity.

L-Isoleucine (Ile) is an essential branched-chain aliphatic amino acid found in many proteins. It is an isomer of LEUCINE. It is important in hemoglobin synthesis and regulation of blood sugar and energy levels.

2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid is a natural metabolite of the branched-chain amino acid leucine. It acts by activating the mTOR signaling pathway to promote the synthesis of new muscle proteins and reduce the breakdown of existing proteins, thereby increasing muscle mass and improving recovery from exercise.

Venuloside A (ESK246), a monoprostane glycoside from Pittosporum venulosum, is a LAT3 inhibitor and a leucine uptake inhibitor that inhibits the transporter of leucine through LAT3, and may be used in the study of prostate cancer.

Bestatin (Ubenimex) competitively inhibits many aminopeptidases, including B, N and leucine aminopeptidases. Ubenimex is a microbial metabolite and dipeptide with potential immunomodulatory and antitumor activities. Aminopeptidases has been implicated in the process of cell adhesion and invasion of tumor cells. Therefore, inhibiting aminopeptidases may partially attribute to the antitumor effect of ubenimex. This agent also activates T lymphocyte, macrophage, and bone marrow stem cell as well as stimulates the release of interleukin-1 and -2, thus further enhances its antitumor activity.

L-Leucyl-L-alanine, a simple dipeptide, consists of L-leucine and L-alanine>[1].

N-Isovaleroylglycine (Isovaleroylglycine) is an acyl glycine. Acyl glycines are normally minor metabolites of fatty acids. However, the excretion of certain acyl glycines is increased in several inborn errors of metabolism. In certain cases, the measurement of these metabolites in body fluids can be used to diagnose disorders associated with mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation. Acyl glycines are produced through the action of glycine N-acyltransferase which is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: acyl-CoA + glycine < -- > CoA + N-acylglycine. N-Isovaleroylglycine is a byproduct of the catabolism of the amino acid leucine. Accumulation of N-Isovaleroylglycine occurs in Isovaleric Acidemia (IVA).

Enocyanin, an anthocyanin extracted from grapes, exhibits inhibitory effects on leucine aminopeptidase, acid phosphatase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, and esterase activity.

Leucyl-phenylalanine, belonging to the class of organic compounds known as dipeptides, is characterized by the linkage of leucine and phenylalanine through a peptide bond.

Isovalerylcarnitine (3-methylbutyrylcarnitine) is a small molecule compound produced by the catabolism of L-leucine and the accumulation of isovaleric acid. Isovalerylcarnitine is also a selective and effective calpain activator that can promote cell apoptosis. Isovalerylcarnitine is related to isovaleric acidemia and can be used as a marker of isovaleric acidemia.

Actinonin ((-)-Actinonin) is a naturally occurring antibacterial agent produced by Actinomyces and a potent reversible peptide deformylase (PDF) inhibitor with a Ki of 0.28 nM. It also induces apoptosis and inhibits aminopeptidase M, aminopeptidase N, and leucine aminopeptidase, as well as MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-8, MMP-9, and meprin α with Ki values of 300 nM, 1,700 nM, 190 nM, 330 nM, and 20 nM, respectively.
