Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Representative isoforms of L-type neutral amino acid transporter include LAT1 and LAT2, LAT1 is specific to cancer cells, and LAT2 is distributed in normal cells. There is also a difference in the transport amino acid substrate selectivity of both, while LAT 2 transports all neutral amino acids, whereas LAT 1 mainly transports large neutral amino acids (leucine, tyrosine, etc.). Alpha-methyl tyrosine developed by us is an amino acid derivative with high selectivity for LAT1. I reported this usefulness during the research period. However, as a drug for boron neutron capture therapy, it was not possible to improve water solubility, and due to the introduction of a plurality of boron, drug development such as a decrease in selectivity of LAT 1 per se was not realized.
