Bioactivity Comments |
In preclinical studies KYT-0353 inhibits leucine uptake and cancer cell growth in vitro and markedly reduces tumor size in vivo [2-3]. Calculated IC50 for inhibition of leucine uptake was 140nM and 16400nM for inhibition of cell growth (using mouse renal proximal tubule cells expressing human LAT1) [2]. KYT-0353 does not inhibit leucine uptake via LAT2. |
