(±)-Leucine-d10 is the deuterium labeled (±)-Leucine. It is an isomer of Leucine, acting as a chemosterilant and dietary additive. This compound can inhibit the growth of *Escherichia coli* HfrH by 92.08%. It is suitable for use as a tracer and as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS. Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements are incorporated into drug molecules as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention due to its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
