Abstract |
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) plays a predominant role in cancer immunotherapy which catalyzes the initial and rate limiting steps of the kynurenine pathway as a key enzyme. To explore novel IDO1 inhibitors, five derivatives of erlotinib-linked 1,2,3-triazole compounds were designed by using a structure-based drug design strategy. Drug-target interactions (DTI) were predicted by DeePurpose, an easy-to-use deep learning library that contains more than 50 algorithms. The DTI prediction results suggested that the designed molecules have potential inhibitory activities for IDO1. Chemical syntheses and bioassays showed that the compounds exhibited remarkable inhibitory activities against IDO1, among them, compound e was the most potent with an IC50 value of 0.32 ± 0.07 μM in the Hela cell assay. The docking model and ADME analysis exhibited that the effective interactions of these compounds with heme iron and better drug-likeness ensured the IDO1 inhibitory activities. The studies suggested that compound e was a novel and interesting IDO1 inhibitor for further development. |
