    Abstract Glutamine transporters are integral to the metabolism of glutamine in both healthy tissues and cancerous cells, playing a pivotal role in maintaining amino acid balance, synthesizing biomolecules, and regulating redox equilibrium. Their critical functions in cellular metabolism make them promising targets for oncological therapies. Recent years have witnessed substantial progress in the field of glutamine transporters, marked by breakthroughs in understanding of their protein structures and the discovery of novel inhibitors, prodrugs, and radiotracers. This review provides a comprehensive update on the latest advancements in modulators targeting the glutamine transporter, with special attention given to LAT1 and ASCT2. It also discusses innovative approaches in drug design aimed at these transporters.

    Abstract Cushing's syndrome (CS) is a complex disorder characterized by the excessive secretion of cortisol, with Cushing's disease (CD), particularly associated with pituitary tumors, exhibiting heightened morbidity and mortality. Although transsphenoidal pituitary surgery (TSS) stands as the primary treatment for CD, there is a crucial need to optimize patient prognosis. Current medical therapy serves as an adjunctive measure due to its unsatisfactory efficacy and unpredictable side effects. In this comprehensive review, we delve into recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis of CS and explore therapeutic options by conducting a critical analysis of potential drug targets and candidates. Additionally, we provide an overview of the design strategy employed in previously reported candidates, along with a summary of structure-activity relationship (SAR) analyses and their biological efficacy. This review aims to contribute valuable insights to the evolving landscape of CS research, shedding light on potential avenues for therapeutic development.

    Abstract Introduction: Kidney-type glutaminase (GLS1), a key enzyme controlling the hydrolysis of glutamine to glutamate to resolve the 'glutamine addiction' of cancer cells, has been shown to play a central role in supporting cancer growth and proliferation. Therefore, the inhibition of GLS1 as a novel cancer treating strategy is of great interest.
    Areas covered: This review covers recent patents (2019-present) involving GLS1 inhibitors, which are mostly focused on their chemical structures, molecular mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetic properties, and potential clinical applications.
    Expert opinion: Currently, despite significant efforts, the search for potent GLS1 inhibitors has not resulted in the development of compounds for therapeutic applications. Most recent patents and literature focus on GLS1 inhibitors IPN60090 and DRP104, which have entered clinical trials. While other patent disclosures during this period have not generated any drug candidates, the clinical update will inform the potential of these inhibitors as promising therapeutic agents either as single or as combination interventions.

    Abstract CDK9 plays a vital role in regulating RNA transcription and significantly impacts the expression of short-lived proteins such as Mcl-1 and c-Myc. Thus, targeting CDK9 holds great promise for the development of antitumor drugs. Natural flavonoid derivatives have recently gained considerable attention in the field of antitumor drug research due to their broad bioactivity and low toxicity. In this study, the PROTAC strategy was used to perform structural modifications of the flavonoid derivative LWT-111 to design a series of flavonoid-based CDK9 degraders. Notably, compound CP-07 emerged as a potent CDK9 degrader, effectively suppressing the proliferation and colony formation of 22RV1 cells by downregulating Mcl-1 and c-Myc. Moreover, CP-07 exhibited significant tumor growth inhibition with a TGI of 75.1% when administered at a dose of 20 mg/kg in the 22RV1 xenograft tumor model. These findings demonstrated the potential of CP-07 as a powerful flavonoid-based CDK9 degrader for prostate cancer therapy.
