Metabolomic reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment by dual arginase inhibitor OATD-02 boosts anticancer immunity by Marcin Mikołaj Grzybowski, Yasemin Uçal, Angelika Muchowicz, Tomasz Rejczak, Agnieszka Kikulska, Katarzyna Maria Głuchowska, Małgorzata Szostakowska-Rodzoś, Agnieszka Zagożdżon, Tobias Bausbacher, Agnieszka Tkaczyk, Magdalena Kulma, Paulina Pomper, Michał Mlącki, Adam Konrad Jagielski, Roman Błaszczyk, Carsten Hopf, Zbigniew Zasłona

“…Unlike ARG1-selective inhibitors with limited intracellular uptake, OATD-02 effectively inhibits both extracellular and intracellular arginases, thereby addressing a major limitation of first-generation arginase inhibitors. To visualize the pharmacodynamic effects of OATD-02 dosing in mice with spatial resolution, we employed MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI), thus enabling direct mapping of metabolic changes within tumor tissues. …”
