Application
- Nanoengineered sonosensitive platelets for synergistically augmented sonodynamic tumor therapy by glutamine deprivation and cascading thrombosis.: This study explores the use of a-Methyl-DL-tryptophan in enhancing sonodynamic tumor therapy through the deprivation of glutamine and inducing thrombosis, offering a new approach to cancer treatment (Zhou et al., 2023).
- Transporter targeted gatifloxacin prodrugs: synthesis, permeability, and topical ocular delivery.: This article describes the application of a-Methyl-DL-tryptophan in developing transporter-targeted prodrugs, enhancing drug delivery systems, particularly in ocular treatments (Vooturi et al., 2012).
- SLC6A14 (ATB0,+) protein, a highly concentrative and broad specific amino acid transporter, is a novel and effective drug target for treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.: The study investigates the role of a-Methyl-DL-tryptophan in targeting SLC6A14 for treating estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent (Karunakaran et al., 2011).

The hypothesis of a serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) dysfunction in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) stems largely from the clinical efficacy of 5-HT reuptake inhibitors. Serotonergic abnormalities in the unmedicated symptomatic state, however, remain to be fully characterized. To investigate brain regional 5-HT

The neurotransmitter, serotonin, is involved in several brain functions, including both normal, physiological functions, and pathophysiological functions. Alterations in any of the normal parameters of serotonergic neurotransmission can produce several different psychiatric disorders, including major depression. In many instances, brain

As social insect workers mature, outside-nest tasks associated with foraging and defense are typically performed at higher frequencies. Foraging in ants is often a pheromonally mediated collective action performed by mature workers; age-dependent differences in olfactory response thresholds may therefore

Interictal increase of (11) C-alpha-methyl-l-tryptophan (AMT) on positron emission tomography (PET) can be seen in cortical epileptic foci, and is particularly common in cortical developmental malformations. Therefore, in the present study, we evaluated the clinical and histopathologic correlates of AMT-PET
