Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of medicine, and relates to the new application of berberine and its derivatives in pharmacy, in particular to the use of berberine and its derivatives in the preparation of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitors use. Background technique
[0002] The prior art discloses that indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase, IDO) is an enzyme containing heme in a cell, and is the only enzyme outside the liver that can catalyze the metabolism of tryptophan. It is the rate-limiting enzyme that breaks down along the kynurenine pathway to produce a series of metabolites including quinolinic acid [1] .
[0003] IDO is related to many physiological and pathological processes. Studies on pregnant mouse models have found that syncytiotrophoblast cells and antigen-presenting cells at the maternal-fetal interface can synthesize IDO, and the dynamic changes in IDO expression are consistent with embryogenesis. ...
