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).
Biochem/physiol Actions
