    Description

    BCH (2-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid) is a selective and competitive inhibitor of large neutral amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) significantly inhibit cellular uptake of amino acids and mTOR phosphorylation, which induces the suppression of cancer growth and apoptosis[1][2][3].

    IC50 & Target

    LAT1[1]

    In Vitro

    BCH (1-100 mM; 3 days; KYSE30 and KYSE150 esophageal cancer cells) treatment suppresses cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner[1].
    BCH (30 mM; 24 and 48 hours; KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells) treatment significantly increases cell population in the G0/G1 phase in both KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells, indicating that BCH induces cell cycle arrest at G1 phase[1].
    BCH (30 mM; 0-24 hours; KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells) treatment decreases phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 and p70S6K at 30 minutes and the decrease is continued for 24 hours. The amount of mTOR, 4E-BP1, and p70S6K proteins is slightly decreased[1].

    Incubation Time: 3 days
    Result: Cell proliferation was suppressed in a dose-dependent manner.

    Cell Cycle Analysis[1]

    Cell Line: KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells
    Concentration: 30 mM
    Incubation Time: 24 and 48 hours
    Result: Cell cycle arrest.

    Western Blot Analysis[1]

    Cell Line: KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells
    Concentration: 30 mM
    Incubation Time: 0 hour, 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 24 hours
    Result: Phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 and p70S6K was decreased. The amount of mTOR, 4E-BP1, and p70S6K proteins was slightly decreased.
    In Vivo

    BCH (200 mg/kg; intravenous injection; daily; for 14 days; male BALB/c nude mice) treatment significantly delays tumor growth and decreases glucose metabolism, indicating that LAT1 inhibition potentially suppresses esophageal cancer growth in vivo[1].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
