Résumé

Anti-cancer vaccination has so far shown a limited efficacy because cancer cells develop mechanisms of resisting or escaping immune rejection. The enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), which catalyzes the oxidative degradation of tryptophan, has been identified as an important actor in this process. It has been demonstrated that many human tumors express IDO in a constitutive manner. [1] The recent elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of IDO [2] provides a basis for the structure-based drug discovery and design of IDO inhibitors. In the present work, [3] we applied virtual screening to discover new IDO inhibitors. The potency of the most promising candidate (1) was confirmed in vitro (IC50 = 65 µM) and could be improved 5-fold by pharmacomodulations. A number of analogs were also active in a cellular test. A modeling study was undertaken in order to explain the SAR.
