The present invention encompasses assays to identify compounds that inhibit the enzymatic activity of MIF which catalyzes the tautomerization of MIF-substrates, such as D-dopachrome to DHICA. In general, the assay is conducted in vitro by adding, mixing or combining MIF and a suitable substrate in the presence or absence of a test compound, and measuring the tautomerization of the substrate. The test compounds that inhibit tautomerization in the assay are identified as MIF inhibitors.

A macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) dopachrome tautomerization assay was employed for identification of MIF inhibitors. One group of dopachrome analogs was identified which inhibits MIF tautomerase activity. In particular, the analogs with a leaving group at beta position displayed activity at a concentration of tenfold less than that of the MIF-substrate. These findings could lead to a better understanding of MIF biological activities and the development of agents for the treatment of MIF related diseases.
