Biological Activity:
1-methyl-D-tryptophan (D-1MT) is a potent and selective indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor with IC50 ~7 μM. It disrupts tryptophan catabolism and enhances the antitumor and antiviral immunoresponses of CD8+ T-cells in vitro. It can reduce tumor volume in mice with xenografts overexpressing IDO.
In vitro: D-1MT was used at 10-50 µM final concentration in various in vitro assays.
In vivo: D-1MT was dosed at 5 mg/Kg orally to mice bearing A20 B-cell lymphoma.
