Pharmacological and structural insights into nanvuranlat, a selective LAT1 (SLC7A5) inhibitor, and its N-acetyl metabolite with implications for cancer therapy by Chunhuan Jin, Xinyu Zhou, Minhui Xu, Hiroki Okanishi, Ryuichi Ohgaki, Yoshikatsu Kanai

“…Both compounds showed comparable dissociation rates, suggesting that N-acetylation does not affect the interaction responsible for slow dissociation. The U-shaped conformation adopted by nanvuranlat when bound to LAT1 likely contributes to its high affinity, selectivity, sustained inhibitory effect, and non-transportable nature observed in this study. …”

The Impact of Task Context on Pleasantness and Softness Estimations: A Study Based on Three Touch Strategies by Binyue Gao, Yinghua Yu, Yoshimichi Ejima, Jinglong Wu, Jiajia Yang

“…However, in Experiment 2, across all tactile strategies, pleasantness began to decrease within the compliance range of 0.25–2.0 cm²/N, exhibiting an inverted U-shaped trend. These findings indicate that the relationship between compliance and pleasantness is task-dependent, particularly demonstrating significantly different trends when a contextual task is introduced. …”
