Targeting indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) has been identified as an attractive approach for the development of cancer immunotherapy. In this study, a series of phosphonamidate ester containing compounds were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activities against IDOL. Among them, compounds 16,17, and 26 with good IDO1 inhibitory (HeLa IDO1 IC50 = 10-21 nM, hIDO1 IC50 = 78 -121 nM) activities were selected for further investigation and showed good physicochemical properties. Furthermore, based on comparable PK profile and excellent IDO2/TDO inhibitory potency, representative compound 16 was selected for further bio-evaluation and characterized with good efficacy in suppressing lung metastasis (77% inhibition rate) of Lewis cells in vivo. Thus, compound 16 could be a potential and efficacious agent for further evaluation. (C) 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
