Description

L-Leucinol is a chiral compound that is synthesized by the reaction of methylamine and ethylene diamine with copper chloride. L-Leucinol has been shown to have receptor activity for CB2, which is a cannabinoid receptor that is expressed primarily in peripheral tissues. L-Leucinol has been shown to inhibit skin cancer, infectious diseases, and acidic conditions. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. L-Leucinol has been shown to be an effective treatment for skin cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The drug inhibits cell proliferation by blocking DNA synthesis and inducing apoptosis. L-Leucinol is not active against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes due to its lack of activity against the enzyme protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B).
