Abstract

Increased consumption of glucose and glutamine are metabolic hallmarks of tumorigenesis. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Reckzeh et al. (2019) describe the discovery of Glutor, a potent inhibitor of cellular glucose uptake. Combining Glutor with the glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 creates a metabolic crisis in cancer cells, synergistically impeding proliferation.
