A new methacrylic fructose glycomonomer is synthesized and copolymerized with N-isopropyl acrylamide by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) poly-merization. By additional copolymerization of the analog mannose, glucose, and galactose glycomonomers, a set of glycopolymers is
Breast cancer cells are known to overexpress Glut5, a sugar transporter responsible for the transfer of fructose across the cell membrane. Since Glut5 transporter is not significantly expressed in normal breast cells, fructose uptake can potentially be used to differentiate between normal and
FDG-based imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) has been widely used in the detection of cancer, but has not reached its full potential. In breast cancer, the glucose/fructose transporter GLUT2 and the fructose transporter GLUT5 are known to be overexpressed in transformed tissues,
At present, chemo- and radiotherapies remain to be the mainstream methods for treating triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which is known for poor prognosis and high rate of mortality. Two types of novel dual-targeting TNBC liposomes (Fru-RGD-Lip and Fru+RGD-Lip) that actively recognize both
GLUT5, a fructose-transporting member of the facilitative glucose transporter (GLUT, SLC2) family, is a therapeutic target for diabetes and cancer but has no potent inhibitors. We virtually screened a library of 6 million chemicals onto a GLUT5 model and identified
