BCH (LAT1-IN-1) is a selective and competitive inhibitor of the L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1). BCH inhibits cancer cell growth and induces apoptosis by suppressing cellular amino acid uptake and mTOR phosphorylation. BCH can be used in research related to cancers such as esophageal cancer[1-4].
In vitro, BCH (10mM) treated endometrial cancer cell lines (Ishikawa, RL95-2, HEC1A, KLE) for 15 minutes to 8 days. BCH significantly inhibited cellular leucine uptake; it suppressed cell growth and spheroid formation while reducing mTORC1 signaling pathway activation[5]. BCH (0.3–50mM) treated KB human oral epidermoid carcinoma cells, Saos2 human osteosarcoma cells, and C6 rat glioma cells for 0–3 days. BCH significantly inhibited cell growth and induced DNA fragmentation, apoptosis, and activation of caspase-3/7[6].
In vivo, BCH (240mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into HFD/STZ-induced T2DM and db/db mouse models for one week. BCH alleviated diabetic neuropathic pain symptoms[7]. BCH (200mg/kg) was intravenously injected into BALB/c nude mice inoculated with HuCCT1 cholangiocarcinoma cells for 14 days. BCH significantly suppressed tumor growth and enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of gemcitabine and 5-FU[8].

Protocolo (Protocol)
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | KB human oral epidermoid carcinoma cells, Saos2 human osteogenic sarcoma cells, C6 rat glioma cells |
Preparation Method | KB cells were grown in MEM containing NEAA (non-essential amino acids) at a ratio of 100:1, supplemented with 5% FBS. Saos2 cells and C6 cells were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS. All cells were maintained as monolayers at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO₂. Cells were treated with BCH at concentrations of 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 20, and 50mM for 0-3 days. |
Reaction Conditions | 0.3-50mM; 0-3 days. |
Applications | BCH significantly inhibited cell growth in a time- and dose-dependent manner, with IC₅₀ values of 6.9±0.4mM (KB, 3 days), 5.6±0.7mM (Saos2, 3 days), and 6.5±0.9mM (C6, 3 days). BCH treatment induced internucleosomal DNA fragmentation, increased the number of TUNEL-positive cells, and promoted proteolytic cleavage of procaspase-7 in all three cell types, as well as procaspase-3 in KB and C6 cells, indicating activation of caspase-3/7 and induction of apoptotic cell death. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | BALB/c nude mice |
Preparation Method | HuCCT1 cells (1x10⁷ cells) were inoculated subcutaneously into the flank of the mice. After tumor volumes reached approximately 100mm³, mice were divided into control and treatment groups (n=10). The treatment groups mice treated with BCH (200mg/kg) for 14 days. |
Dosage form | 200mg/kg; i.v.; once daily for 14 days. |
Applications | BCH significantly suppressed growth of the tumor and yielded an additive therapeutic efficacy to gemcitabine and 5-FU. |
