Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Many tumors overexpress LAT1, a transporter for uptake of branched-chain (valine, isoleucine, and leucine) and neutral aromatic side-chain (phenylalanine and tyrosine) amino acids. Tumour cells have a high demand for nutrients, including amino acids, so targeting amino acid transporters is considered a valid strategy for developing novel cancer therapuetics. The restricted nature of LAT1 expression suggests it is a target with potential to minimise damage to normal cells and tissues.
