In this study, a series of novel hydroxyamidine derivatives were identified as potent and selective IDO1 inhibitors by structure-based drug design. Among them, compounds - and exhibited favorable enzymatic and cellular activities. Compound showed improved bioavailability in mouse, rat, and dog (F% = 44%, 58.8%, 102.1%, respectively). With reasonable pharmacokinetic properties, compound was further evaluated in a transgenic MC38 xenograft mouse model. The combination of compound with PD-1 monoclonal antibody showed a synergistic antitumor effect. These data indicated that compound as a potential cancer immunotherapy agent should warrant further investigation.
在本研究中,通过基于结构的药物设计,一系列新型羟基脒衍生物被鉴定为强效且选择性的吲哚胺2,3-双加氧酶1(IDO1)抑制剂。其中,化合物-和表现出良好的酶活性和细胞活性。化合物在小鼠、大鼠和犬中显示出改善的生物利用度(分别为F% = 44%、58.8%、102.1%)。具有合理的药代动力学性质,化合物在转基因MC38异种移植小鼠模型中进一步评估。化合物与PD-1单克隆抗体的联合显示出协同抗肿瘤作用。这些数据表明,化合物作为一种潜在的癌症免疫治疗药物值得进一步研究。
