Application
Bis-2-(5-phenylacetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)ethyl sulfide (BPTES) has been used as a glutaminase inhibitor.
Biochem/physiol Actions
BPTES is a selective inhibitor of Glutaminase GLS1 (KGA), which is found in the kidney and brain, and is positively regulated by myc and strongly expressed in many tumors and tumor cell lines. Glutaminase converts glutamine to glutamate, which is an important excitatory neurotransmitter in brain and can be further oxidized to α-ketoglutarate to feed the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and to glutathione, which is important for controlling the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly important for cancer cell growth. BPTES was found to slow growth of glioma cells. BPTES is a noncompetitive inhibitor with a Ki of 3 μM.
BPTES is a selective inhibitor of Glutaminase GLS1.
Vaccinia virus (VACV) requires glutamine metabolism for its optimal replication. Inhibition of glutaminolysis by bis-2-(5-phenylacetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)ethyl sulfide (BPTES) can be a potential method to treat poxvirus infections.

Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGF-β) induces tumor cell migration and invasion. However, its role in inducing metabolic reprogramming is poorly understood. Here we analyzed the metabolic profile of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells that show differences in TGF-β expression. Oxygen consumption

Neutrophils are phenotypically heterogeneous and exert either anti- or pro-metastatic functions. We show that cancer-cell-derived G-CSF is necessary, but not sufficient, to mobilize immature low-density neutrophils (iLDNs) that promote liver metastasis. In contrast, mature high-density neutrophils inhibit the formation of
