SLC7A5 and cervical cancer: Recent research has revealed that dithiazoleand dithiazine-based covalent inhibitors, in the order of sub-micromolarrange, can inactivate LAT1 and, in particular, two of them provokedcell death in high-LAT1-expressing cervical cancer cells (SiHa), thusshowing a cytotoxicity activity of these compounds.12 This suggested that the inhibition can be induced by theformation of the disulfide or trisulfide intermediate, as reportedin Scheme 1.
