Abstract

IDO1, a key dioxygenase in tryptophan-kynurenine metabolism, appeared in the last 10 years at the vanguard of druggable targets in cancer therapy due to its well-established role both in immune escape and inflammatory neovascularization. Among the pool of IDO1 inhibitors that have entered clinical trials, none have reached approval. The identification of novel inhibitors endowed with better clinical profile, together with the further comprehension of the interactions with residues in IDO1 active site, are still a need. In this context, we have synthesized a novel class of imidazothiazole derivatives as IDO1 inhibitors and identified three compounds with inhibitory potency in the low micromolar range. This report strengthens the role played by pocket C in the active site of IDO1, providing novel directions in the design of IDO1 inhibitors.
