Application


  • Nanoengineered sonosensitive platelets for synergistically augmented sonodynamic tumor therapy by glutamine deprivation and cascading thrombosis.: This study explores the use of a-Methyl-DL-tryptophan in enhancing sonodynamic tumor therapy through the deprivation of glutamine and inducing thrombosis, offering a new approach to cancer treatment (Zhou et al., 2023).

  • Transporter targeted gatifloxacin prodrugs: synthesis, permeability, and topical ocular delivery.: This article describes the application of a-Methyl-DL-tryptophan in developing transporter-targeted prodrugs, enhancing drug delivery systems, particularly in ocular treatments (Vooturi et al., 2012).

  • SLC6A14 (ATB0,+) protein, a highly concentrative and broad specific amino acid transporter, is a novel and effective drug target for treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.: The study investigates the role of a-Methyl-DL-tryptophan in targeting SLC6A14 for treating estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent (Karunakaran et al., 2011).

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

α-methyl-DL-tryptophan is a blocker of ATBo, an amino acid transporter whose expression is upregulated in cancer.

PET studies with α[C-11]methyl-L-tryptophan (AMT) have shown decreased serotonin synthesis based on a decrease of the unidirectional uptake rate (K-complex) in neuropsychiatric conditions such as autism and depression. Increased AMT K-complex in tumors can indicate increased tryptophan metabolism via the
