D-Leucine

D-Lyxose is an endogenous metabolite. D-Lyxose is a rare pentose sugar with significant potential for dr-ug synthesis. D-Lyxose can be used as a starting material for anti-tumor dr-ugs such as alpha galactose ceramide immunostimulants. D-Lyxose can be used as a precursor for L-nucleoside analogs for the development of antiviral dr-ugs. D-Lyxose can be used as a synthetic intermediate for other rare sugars such as L-ribose[1][2].
