SLC2A1 and cancer: Forthe aforementioned purpose, we previously reported on the designand synthesis of sulfoquinovosyl acyl glycerol (SQAG) derivativesand 2-boryl-1,2-dideoxy-d-glucose derivatives, which werepossibly transferred into cancer cells through the glucose transporter1 (GLUT1),14,15 because large amounts of d-glucose are consumed by anaerobic glycolysis during the rapidproliferation of cancer cells, which is known as the Warburg effect.16 However, their effect on BNCT was not satisfying,despite the moderate intracellular uptake of these agents.
