(Rac)-IDO1-IN-5 is a racemate of IDO1-IN-5, a potent, selective, and brain-penetrating inhibitor of Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) activity. It specifically binds to apo-IDO1, which lacks heme, instead of mature heme-bound IDO1.
2-(Biotin-amido)-13-bis(carboxylethoxy)propane is a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) linker utilized in the synthesis of PROTACs[1].
PROTAC IDO1 Degrader-1 is the first potent IDO1 (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1) degrader that hijacks IDO1 to CRBN E3 ligase to introduce IDO1 into UPS and eventually achieve ubiquitination and degradation (DC50=2.84 μM). PROTAC IDO1 Degrader-1 moderately improves the tumor-killing activity of H ER2 CAR-T cells[1]. PROTAC IDO1 Degrader-1 (compound 2c) (10 μM; 24 hours) notably decreases IDO1 level induced by IFN-γ[1].PROTAC IDO1 Degrader-1 and IFN-γ (5 ng mL) are incubated with HeLa cells for 24 h, and a significant dose-dependent degradation is observed. PROTAC IDO1 Degrader-1 combined with chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR-T) cells can improve the tumor-killing activity of HER-2 CAR-T cells[1].PROTAC IDO1 Degrader-1 induces significant and persistent degradation of IDO1 with maximum degradation (dmax) of 93% in HeLa cells[1].

IDO1-IN-7, a potent and selective indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) inhibitor, exhibits high potency with an IC 50 of 6.1 nM in the cellular assay (SKOV3). Apart from its inhibitory properties, IDO1-IN-7 also demonstrates immunomodulatory effects, contributing to its potential applications in cancer research.
