V-9302
Based on 34 publication(s) in Google Scholar
V-9302 is a competitive antagonist of transmembrane glutamine flux. V-9302 selectively and potently targets the amino acid transporter ASCT2 (SLC1A5) not ASCT1. V-9302 inhibits ASCT2-mediated glutamine uptake (IC50=9.6 μM) in HEK-293 cells.

V-9302 inhibits ASCT2-mediated glutamine uptake in human cells in a concentration-dependent fashion and exhibits a 100-fold improvement in potency over gamma-L-glutamyl-p-nitroanilide[1].
Pharmacological blockade of ASCT2 with V-9302 results in attenuated cancer cell growth and proliferation, increases cell death, and increases oxidative stress[1].

The combination of CB-839 and V-9302 (30 mg/kg; i.p.; SNU398 and MHCC97H cells were grown as tumor xenografts in BALB/c nude mice; for 20 or 15 d, respectively) elicits a strong growth inhibition in both SNU398 and MHCC97H xenograft models, while single-drug treatment showed modest anti-tumor effects[2].
V-9302 (50 mg/kg ; i.p.; daily for 5 days) displays markedly reduced tumor growth[3].
