Inhibitors of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) are provided as are pharmaceutical compositions containing such inhibitors as well as the use of such inhibitors and compositions for the treatment of a condition in a mammalian subject characterized by pathology of the IDO-mediated tryptophan metabolic pathway. Such conditions may involve suppression of T-cell mediated immune response or may directly result from depletion of tryptophan or accumulation of a product of tryptophan degradation. Specific disease conditions include cancer. IDO inhibitors of this invention are homologs of annulin A, annulin B or annulin C.
本研究提供了吲哚胺 2,3-二氧化酶(IDO)的抑制剂以及含有此类抑制剂的药物组合物,还提供了使用此类抑制剂和组合物治疗哺乳动物体内以 IDO 介导的色氨酸代谢途径病理学为特征的疾病的方法。此类病症可能涉及抑制 T 细胞介导的免疫反应,也可能直接导致色氨酸耗竭或色氨酸降解产物的积累。具体的疾病情况包括癌症。本发明的 IDO 抑制剂是鹅膏素 A、鹅膏素 B 或鹅膏素 C 的同源物。
