Structure−Activity Study of Brassinin Derivatives as Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase Inhibitors
摘要:
A screen of indole-based structures revealed the natural product brassinin to be a moderate inhibitor of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), a new cancer immunosuppression target. A structure-activity study was undertaken to determine which elements of the brassinin structure could be modified to enhance potency. Three important discoveries have been made, which will impact future IDO inhibitor development: (i) The dithiocarbamate portion of the brassinin lead is a crucial moiety, which may be binding to the heme iron of IDO; (ii) an indole ring is not necessary for IDO inhibition; and (iii) substitution of the S-methyl group of brassinin with large aromatic groups provides inhibitors that are three times more potent in vitro than the most commonly used IDO inhibitor, 1-methyl-tryptophan.
Novel indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitors, compositions comprising the same, and methods of use thereof are disclosed.

In certain embodiments a platform technology for the facilitating immune therapy in the treatment of cancer is provided. In certain embodiments nanocarriers are provided that facilitate delivery of an IDO inhibitor in conjunction with an inducer of cell death (ICD-inducer). In certain embodiments the IDO inhibitor is conjugated to a component of a lipid bilayer forming a nanovesicle. In still another embodiment, methods and compositions are provided where an ICD-inducing agent (e.g., doxorubicin, oxaliplatin, mitoxantrone etc.) and an IDO pathway inhibitor (e.g., an IDO inhibitor-prodrug) are integrated into a nanocarrier (e.g. a lipid-bilayer (LB)-coated nanoparticle), that allows systemic delivery to orthotopic pancreatic cancer site.
