Background

The L-type amino acid transporters (LATs) are Na+-dependent neutral amino acid transporters.[1] They include four members in two sub-families, with LAT1 and LAT2 belonging to solute carrier (SLC) family 7 and LAT3 and LAT4 being members of SLC43.1 LAT1 is overexpressed in many tumors and contributes to ribosome biogenesis and cell growth by supporting mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling.[2] BCH is an inhibitor of LAT1 that blocks the uptake of L-leucine with an IC50 value of 131.5 µM.[3],[4] It can inhibit all members of the LAT family at a concentration of 10 mM.[1] In addition to eliminating the uptake of neutral amino acids, BCH suppresses mTORC1 signaling that drives DNA synthesis and cell proliferation.[1],[2] LAT1 is also essential for the uptake of amino acid-related compounds, like L-DOPA, through the blood-brain barrier, and this can be inhibited by BCH.[4],[5]

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
