| | 1-Methyl-D-tryptophan Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) metabolizes tryptophan to kynurenine, leading to the production of NAD+ via the kynurenine pathway. The overexpression of IDO in tumors and tumor-draining lymph nodes induces immune tolerance and enhances tumor growth in vivo. 1-methyl-D-Tryptophan is an inhibitor of IDO (IC50 = 7 μM) that is effective in vivo. In mice, 1-methyl-D-tryptophan prevents T-cell anergy triggered by dendritic cells overexpressing IDO. It augments the antitumor and antiviral immunoresponse of CD8+ T-cells and reduces tumor volume in mice with xenografts overexpressing IDO. 1-methyl-D-Tryptophan, in combination with chemotherapy, causes regression of tumors and prolongs survival. Surprisingly, 1-methyl-D-tryptophan induces the expression of IDO in human ovarian carcinoma SKOV3 cells in culture. | | Uses | 1-Methyl-D-tryptophan is used in biological studies to determine the effect of IDO2 enzyme (indoleamine-(2,3)-dioxygenase) activity and IDO2-mediated arrest of human T cell proliferation.

After addition, the reaction system was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Subsequently, the reaction system was cooled to 0 °C. A 30 mL solution of DMSO with 7.46 g of iodomethane was slowly added dropwise over 30 min. After the dropwise addition was completed, the reaction was continued for 15 hours. After completion of the reaction, 50 mL of water was added to the system to quench the reaction. The reaction mixture was poured into 400 mL of ether and a large solid was precipitated and filtered. The resulting solid was dissolved in water and the pH was adjusted to 6-7 with concentrated hydrochloric acid, and the solid was again precipitated. Filtering was extracted and dried to give 8.7 g of white powdery product (80% yield, melting point 269°C). The product was analyzed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry according to the method of Example 1. The results showed that the resulting solid product was 1-methyltryptophan with 100% purity. | | in vivo | The D isomer is more efficacious as an anticancer agent in chemo-immunotherapy regimens using NSC-26271, NSC 125973, or LY 188011, 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 NSC 125973 can elicit regression of autochthonous breast tumors[1]. | | IC 50 | IDO: 19 μM (Ki) | | storage | Store at -20°C | | References | [1] DE-YAN HOU.
