Target

IDO:19 μM (Ki)

In VitroThe IDO inhibitor 1-methyl-tryptophan exists in two stereoisomers with potentially different biological properties. The L isomer is the more potent inhibitor of IDO activity using the purified enzyme and in HeLa cell–based assays. However, the D isomer is significantly more effective in reversing the suppression of T cells created by IDO-expressing dendritic cells. The L isomer of 1-methyl-tryptophan functioned as a competitive inhibitor (Ki=19 μM), whereas the d isomer is much less effective. The DL mixture is intermediate, with a Ki of 35 μM[1].
In VivoThe D isomer is more efficacious as an anticancer agent in chemo-immunotherapy regimens using cyclophosphamide, paclitaxel, or gemcitabine, when tested in mouse models of transplantable melanoma and transplantable and autochthonous breast cancer. The D isomer of 1-methyl-tryptophan specifically targets the IDO gene because the antitumor effect of d-1-methyl-tryptophan is completely lost in mice with a disruption of the IDO gene (IDO-knockout mice). Oral administration of dl-1-methyl-tryptophan in combination with paclitaxel can elicit regression of autochthonous breast tumors[1].
Kinase Assay1MT enantiomers are solubilized in DMSO containing 0.1N HCl and added at concentrations of 100, 50, and 0 µM to wells containing the reaction mixture with tryptophan (0-200 µM) followed by addition of IDO enzyme. Plates are sealed and incubated 1 hr in a humidified 37°C incubator, after which the reactions are terminated by addition of 12.5 µl 30% TCA per well. Plates are then resealed in plastic wrap, incubated 30 min at 50°C to hydrolyze the reaction product N-formylkynurenine to kynurenine, and centrifuged. Supernatants are transferred to a flat-bottom 96-well plate, mixed with 100 µl Ehrlich reagent and incubated 10 min at room temperature. Absorbance at 490 nm is read[1].
Animal AdminMice: B16F10 melanoma are established in B6 mice. For administration in drinking water, D-1MT is prepared at 2 mg/mL in water supplemented with a small amount of aspartame (2 envelopes per liter) to improve acceptance by the mice, and filter sterilized. The solution is delivered in standard autoclaved drinking-water bottles. Mice drink 4.5-5.0 mL/day (similar to consumption of water without drug)[1].
