Lc-BPE is the highest affinity novel chemical tool for characterizing the role of Alanine-Serine-Cysteine Transporter 2 (ASCT2), a sodium-dependent transporter in a variety of tissues, in cancer and other diseases from this study. This ASCT2 inhibitor additionally provides insights into design for future clinically relevant compounds. Lc-BPW is the first inhibitor of ASCTs with sub-µM affinity (Garibsingh et al., 2020).
