KMH-233 is a potent and selective LAT1 Inhibitor 1. KMH-233 inhibited the uptake of LAT1 substrate, L-leucin as well as cell growth. It also significantly potentiated the efficacy of bestatin and cisplatin even at low concentrations (25 μM). KMH-233 may be a promising agent or adjuvant especially for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | By blocking the binding and transport of necessary neutral amino acids, KMH-233 can stop cancer cells from growing [1]. KMH-233 exhibits a noteworthy decrease in cell proliferation, with an IC50 of 124 µM[1]. KMH-233 inhibits cell growth by 53% and 50%, respectively, and is an effective supplement that can boost the anti-proliferative activity of Bestatin (100 µM) and cisplatin (100 µM) at a lower dose of 25 µM[1]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~170.19 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.25 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.5 mg/mL (4.25 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
