Description

Acetyl-L-leucine amide is a drug used to treat symptoms of depression in geriatric patients. It is an amide form of acetyl-L-leucine, which is an amino acid that plays a role in the synthesis of proteins and lipids. Acetyl-L-leucine amide has been shown to have antidepressant effects in geriatric patients with mild to moderate depression. This drug can be used as part of a combination therapy for infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis, when there is no infection or when resistance to other antibiotics has occurred. Acetyl-L-leucine amide has also been shown to be effective against cervical cancer and breast cancer cells. The synthesis of this drug involves two steps: first, reacting L-leucine with acetyl chloride; second, reacting the product with aqueous ammonia solution.
