(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.
Benzomalvin C is a weak antagonist of the neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor inhibiting binding of substance P by 46% when used at 100 μg ml in vitro. It is also a weak inhibitor of indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) with an IC50 value of 130 μM for recombinant IDO. It was isolated from Penicillium and contains an epoxide group at C-19 and C-20, which is not present in benzomalvins A, B, or E.
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.
