Abstract

A novel series of o-phenylenediamine-based inhibitors of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) has been identified. IDO is a heme-containing Enzyme, overexpressed in the tumor microenvironment of many cancers, which can contribute to the suppression of the host immune system. Synthetic modifications to a previously described diarylether series resulted in an additional degree of molecular diversity which was exploited to afford compounds that demonstrated significant potency in the HeLa human cervical Cancer IDO1 assay. .
