Product Description
L-Leucinol ((+)-Leucinol) is a competitive aminopeptidase inhibitor (antagonist) with Ki of 17 μM.
H-Leu-ol, also known as L-Leucinol or (S)-(+)-Leucinol, is a chiral amino alcohol derived from the essential amino acid leucine. It has a molecular weight of 117.19 g/mol and formula C6H15NO. It is a competitive aminopeptidase inhibitor with a Ki of 17 μM. It is used as a chiral building block in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
H-Leu-ol targets aminopeptidases as a competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 17 μM. As a leucine-derived amino alcohol, it also serves as a chiral building block for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds. Its primary applications are in organic synthesis and as a research tool for studying aminopeptidase function.
ln Vitro
In vitro, H-Leu-ol acts as a competitive aminopeptidase inhibitor with a Ki of 17 μM. Amino acid derivatives have been commercially used as ergogenic supplements, influencing anabolic hormone secretion, fuel availability, mental performance, and prevention of muscular damage. H-Leu-ol's utility extends to chiral synthesis and pharmaceutical research.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for H-Leu-ol as a standalone compound is not extensively reported. As an aminopeptidase inhibitor, it may affect peptide metabolism and protein turnover in vivo. Compounds synthesized using this chiral building block may be evaluated in animal models for therapeutic applications.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme inhibition assays for H-Leu-ol involve measuring its inhibition of aminopeptidase activity. Purified aminopeptidase is incubated with the compound at various concentrations in appropriate buffer with substrate. Enzyme activity is measured by fluorometric or spectrophotometric detection of released product. Ki values are calculated from dose-response curves. IC50 and Ki = 17 μM.
Cell Assay
Cell-based protocols for H-Leu-ol are not well established as it is primarily a synthetic building block. Aminopeptidase inhibition can be studied in cell lysates or intact cells using fluorogenic substrates. Cells are treated with H-Leu-ol at various concentrations, and aminopeptidase activity is measured. Concentrations typically range from 1-100 µM for 1-24 hours.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal study protocols for H-Leu-ol would depend on the specific application. If used as a building block for drug candidates, standard PK/PD studies would apply. The compound itself may be administered to study aminopeptidase inhibition in vivo, with blood and tissue samples collected for analysis of enzyme activity and compound levels.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for H-Leu-ol as a standalone compound is limited. The compound has a molecular weight of 117.19 g/mol, formula C6H15NO, and CAS number 7533-40-6. Melting point is 56-58°C. Boiling point is 208-210°C. Density is 0.917 g/mL. Optical rotation is 3° (589nm, c=9, ethanol). Appearance is white or almost white crystalline powder.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Limited toxicological data is available for H-Leu-ol. The compound is for research use only. Standard safety precautions should be observed. No specific toxicity studies have been reported. It is not intended for human therapeutic use.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
