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 TDO-IN-1 (30) is a highly effective inhibitor that targets both IDO1 and TDO enzymes with uncompetitive (Ki = 0.23 μM) and competitive (Ki = 0.73 μM) mechanisms, respectively. This compound, IDO1 TDO-IN-1 (30), exhibits a significant capacity to induce cell apoptosis via the potential mitochondria-mediated Bcl-2 Bax pathway [1].
IDO1 TDO-IN-3 is a powerful inhibitor targeting IDO1 and TDO enzymes. It displays noteworthy effectiveness against IDO1 (IC50: 0.005 μM) and TDO (IC50: 0.004 μM). Additionally, IDO1 TDO-IN-3 demonstrates considerable in vivo anti-tumor properties while exhibiting no apparent toxicity [1].
