Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, and more specifically relates to the use of an azatryptophan derivative as an inhibitor of tryptophan metabolism key enzymes along the kynuric acid pathway—IDO1 and / or TDO, for the treatment of IDO1 and / or TDO. Diseases with pathological features of TDO-mediated tryptophan metabolism, including but not limited to tumors, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, Alzheimer's disease, depression, anxiety. Background technique
[0002] As an essential amino acid in the human body, tryptophan can only be ingested through diet, and the content in the body is relatively small. The concentration of tryptophan in adult plasma is about 40-80μM, and about 95% of tryptophan is metabolized through the kynuric acid pathway[ Armstrong, M.D. and Stave, U. Metabolism. 1973, 22, 561–569.]. Metabolites of this pathway are immunosuppressive and play a key role in tumor immune escape. The first tryptopha...
