D-Leucine (CAS 328-38-1) is the unnatural enantiomer of leucine, an essential amino acid. Produced via enzymatic resolution or fermentation, its molecular formula is C6H13NO2. This chiral building block is distinct from the L-isomer found in nature.
Storage requires cool, dry conditions away from moisture. While generally safe as a chemical reagent, clinical use is restricted; it lacks therapeutic approval for general supplementation and requires strict safety protocols during handling.
