L-Norleucine

L-n-leucine is an amino acid derivative and can be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate.

L-Norleucine is an isomer of leucine, specifically affecting protein synthesis in skeletal muscle. L-Norleucine has antiviral activity. L-Norleucine interacts with hnRNPA2/B1 protein to suppresses the expressions of Twist1 and Snail, two inhibitors of E-cadherin, and promotes the expression of E-cadherin, resulting in the inhibition of tumor metastasis.
