Norleucine (L-norleucine) is a 2-aminohexanoic acid is an alpha-amino acid that is caproic acid substituted by an amino group at position 2. It derives from a hexanoic acid. It is used experimentally to study protein structure and function. Norleucine appears to inhibit bacterial growth due to incorporation into proteins in place of methionine, as the analogue inhibits methionine incorporation but does not significantly reduce its synthesis. L-norleucine had antiviral activity in thermophile. In vitro and in vivo assays revealed that L-norleucine significantly suppressed metastasis of gastric and breast cancer cells. L-norleucine interacted with hnRNPA2/B1 protein to inhibit the expressions of Twist1 and Snail, two inhibitors of E-cadherin, and promote the E-cadherin expression, leading to the inhibition of tumor metastasis.

Route of Administration: Other
It was found that the dissociation constant (Kd) of L-norleucine for hnRNPA2B1 was 4.45 ± 1.77 uM, suggesting that L-norleucine was directly bound with hnRNPA2B1 protein. The binding of L-norleucine with RRM1 (Kd = 4.02 ± 1.48 uM) or RRM2 (Kd = 4.85 ± 0.93 uM) generated significant thermodynamic changes, while L-norleucine was not bound with the C-terminal domain (Kd was not measured).
