Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB00167 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22298573 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/4698813 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28089725

Isoleucine is an essential α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. L-isoleucine is commonly used in parenteral and enteral nutrition. It is used in combination with the other branched chain amino acids to improve the nutritional status of patients with hepatic diseases. BCAAs serve as important fuel sources for skeletal muscle during periods of metabolic stress

Approved Use

Parenteral nutrition with 8.5% FreAmine® III (Amino Acid Injection) with Electrolytes is indicated to prevent nitrogen loss or treat negative nitrogen balance in adults and pediatric patients, where (1) the alimentary tract, by the oral, gastrostomy, or jejunostomy route, cannot or should not be used, or adequate protein intake is not feasible by these routes; (2) gastrointestinal absorption of protein is impaired; or (3) protein requirements are substantially increased as with extensive burns. Dosage, route of administration, and concomitant infusion of non-protein calories are dependent on various factors, such as nutritional metabolic status of the patient, anticipated duration of parenteral nutritional support, and vein tolerance

Curator's Comment: in combination with L-valine and L-leucine
2.9g of L-isoleucine over 6 months
Route of Administration: Oral
Primary cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells were rinsed with PBS and harvested in phosphate buffer pH 7.4 (50 mmol/L KH2PO4, 1 mmol/L EGTA, 150 mmol/L sucrose). The reaction was started by the addition of a lucigenin mixture 5 μmol/L) and NADPH (100 μmol/L) (Sigma-Aldrich) to the protein sample in a final volume of 250 μL. Branched-chain amino acids were prepared as a mixture of leucine, isoleucine and valine at 0.2–12 mmol/L Cells were exposed to increasing concentrations of BCAA (4–12 mmol/L) for 1 h Chemiluminescence was determined every 2.4 s for 3 min in a microtiter plate luminometer (Enspire Perkin Elmer). Basal activity in the absence of NADPH was subtracted from each reading and normalized to protein concentration.
