Popis: A hydroxyamidine chemotype has been discovered as a key pharmacophore in novel inhibitors of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO). Optimization led to the identification of 5l, which is a potent (HeLa IC(50) = 19 nM) competitive inhibitor of IDO. Testing of 5l in mice demonstrated pharmacodynamic inhibition of IDO, as measured by decreased kynurenine levels (50%) in plasma and dose dependent efficacy in mice bearing GM-CSF-secreting B16 melanoma tumors.
