| Targets |
L-Isoleucine targets branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolic pathways. As an essential amino acid, it is incorporated into proteins and serves as a precursor for gluconeogenesis. Isoleucine activates the mTOR signaling pathway, regulating protein synthesis and cell growth. The compound is used to study BCAA metabolism and related metabolic disorders.

| ln Vitro |
Drug compounds have included stable heavy isotopes of carbon, hydrogen, and other elements, mostly as quantitative tracers while the drugs were being developed. Because deuteration may have an effect on a drug's pharmacokinetics and metabolic properties, it is a cause for concern [1].
In vitro, L-isoleucine stimulates protein synthesis in muscle cells via mTOR activation. It promotes cell proliferation and differentiation. The deuterated form is used to trace isoleucine incorporation into proteins and other biomolecules in cell culture. Cellular uptake of labeled isoleucine is quantified by LC-MS/MS. The compound's effects on mTOR signaling are assessed by Western blot for phosphorylated S6K and 4E-BP1. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, L-isoleucine is essential for muscle protein synthesis, energy production, and glucose homeostasis. The deuterated form is used in metabolic tracing studies to investigate isoleucine metabolism in animal models. It is particularly useful in studying BCAA metabolism in conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and maple syrup urine disease. Isoleucine supplementation has been shown to improve glucose metabolism.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT) involve incubating the enzyme with L-Isoleucine-d10 and α-ketoglutarate in phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. The reaction product, α-keto-β-methylvalerate, is quantified by LC-MS/MS. Kinetic parameters (Km, Vmax) are determined by varying substrate concentrations. The deuterated substrate allows for precise quantification and tracing of the reaction products. The assay is typically performed at 37°C.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cell assays, cells are cultured in isoleucine-free medium supplemented with L-Isoleucine-d10 at concentrations of 0.1-10 mM. Protein synthesis is assessed by measuring the incorporation of labeled isoleucine into newly synthesized proteins using LC-MS/MS. Cell proliferation is evaluated by MTT assay. mTOR signaling is analyzed by Western blot. Cellular uptake and metabolism of the labeled isoleucine are quantified by LC-MS/MS.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo animal studies, L-Isoleucine-d10 is administered to rodents via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection at doses of 50-200 mg/kg. Blood and tissue samples are collected at various time points for pharmacokinetic analysis. Plasma and tissue isoleucine levels are quantified by LC-MS/MS. Metabolic flux analysis traces the incorporation of deuterium into downstream metabolites and proteins. Stable isotope tracing is performed to study BCAA metabolism in various tissues.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
L-Isoleucine-d10 has a molecular weight of 141.23. It is soluble in water and physiological buffers. The compound is stable under recommended storage conditions (powder at -20°C). The deuterium labeling provides a mass shift of +10 Da for MS detection. It is absorbed via amino acid transporters and metabolized through the BCAA catabolic pathway. The compound is stable as a powder at -20°C for 3 years.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
L-Isoleucine is generally recognized as safe at physiological concentrations. The deuterated form is not expected to exhibit additional toxicity. High doses may cause hyperaminoacidemia. The compound is for research use only, not for human therapeutic applications. No specific toxicity data are available for the deuterated analog; safety profiles are extrapolated from L-isoleucine, which is an essential amino acid.
