Development of a first-in-class inhibitor of the mitochondrial glutamine transporter SLC1A5_var to target glutamine dependency in cancer
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This study introduces iMQT_020, a first-in-class allosteric targeting of the mitochondrial glutamine transporter SLC1A5_var. By disrupting glutamine-dependent mitochondrial metabolism, iMQT_020 selectively induces cancer cell death and enhances the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. These findings highlight that SLC1A5_var is a critical metabolic vulnerability and a therapeutic target in glutamine-addicted cancers
