Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibition of serine/glycine synthesis by SHMT inhibitors can be an effective strategy to treat serine/glycine synthesis-dependent cancers. Therefore, SHMT inhibitor can be a potential cancer drug target. SHMT inhibitor Hit 1 may inhibit SHMT with an IC50 of 0.53 μM.
SHMT inhibitor Hit 1 is a potent and specific inhibitor of serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT). SHMT inhibitor Hit 1 potently inhibits SHMT1 and SHMT2 in rat liver homogenate.

Metabolic rewiring is a hallmark of cancer that supports tumor growth, survival, and chemotherapy resistance. Although normal cells often rely on extracellular serine and glycine supply, a significant subset of cancers becomes addicted to intracellular serine/glycine synthesis, offering an attractive
