Featured New

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

V-9302 is a potent small-molecule antagonist of the glutamine transporter ASCT2 (SLC1A5) that inhibits glutamine uptake, leading to metabolic stress and suppression of tumor growth. In vitro studies have demonstrated that V-9302 effectively reduces glutamine consumption and downstream glutaminolysis, resulting in decreased ATP production, oxidative stress, and mTORC1 inhibition in cancer cells. It exhibits selective cytotoxicity against glutamine-addicted tumors, including triple-negative breast cancer, glioblastoma, and various other malignancies, while sparing non-transformed cells. Additionally, V-9302 has been shown to enhance the efficacy of metabolic stressors and chemotherapy agents, making it a promising candidate for combinational cancer therapy.

More Info
May 7, 2024- Product V-9302 Patent licensing News MedKoo is excited to announce the licensing of patents of the novel compound V-9302 from Vanderbilt University. V-9302, a breakthrough compound, is now featured on our website at https://www.medkoo.com/products/28980 . V-9302 is a competitive antagonist of transmembrane glutamine flux (ASCT2 inhibitor), selectively and potently targeting the amino acid transporter ASCT2. This groundbreaking product is safeguarded by patents including US Patent US 10,793,514.
Biological target:
V-9302 selectively and potently targets the amino acid transporter ASCT2 (SLC1A5) with IC50=9.6 µM) in HEK-293 cells.
In vitro activity:
In the primary screen, this study observed that V-9302 exposure reduced in vitro viability by at least 20% in more than half of the cell lines screened, with sensitivity to V-9302 exposure not obviously linked to select mutational status (Extended Data Fig. 3). Follow-up screening was carried out in a subset of colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines that exhibited variable sensitivities to V-9302 in the primary screen. Using three independent assays lacking ATP-dependency, this study confirmed that V-9302 exposure led to reduced cellular viability and increased cell death (Extended Data Fig. 4). Reference: Nat Med. 2018 Feb; 24(2): 194–202. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5803339/
In vivo activity:
To test the impact of glutamine uptake inhibition with V-9302, orthotopic E0771 tumors grown in immune-competent C57BL/6 female mice were treated daily with V-9302 (50 mg/kg) or vehicle beginning when tumors reached 100 mm3, equivalent to 11 days after tumor cell inoculation. Tumors treated with V-9302 displayed markedly reduced tumor growth (Figure 5A), resulting in decreased tumor weight upon collection on day 16, after only 5 days of treatment (Figure 5B). While V-9302 had only a marginal impact on Ki67+ cell proliferation, there was a more significant (3-fold) increase in apoptosis, as measured by cleaved caspase-3 (Figure 5C), in agreement with the increased cell death seen upon genetic GLS loss in E0771 tumors.
