Therapeutic effects of the novel Leucyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitor BC-LI-0186 in non-small cell lung cancer

Leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LRS) is an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase catalyzing ligation of leucine to its cognate tRNA and is involved in the activation of mTORC1 by sensing cytoplasmic leucine. In this study, the usefulness of LRS as a therapeutic target of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the anticancer effect of the LRS inhibitor, BC-LI-0186, was evaluated
