AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005]Tryptophan (Trp) is an essential amino acid required for the biosynthesis of proteins, niacin and the neurotransmitter 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin). The enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (also known as INDO or IDO) catalyzes the first and rate limiting step in the degradation of L-tryptophan to N-formyl-kynurenine. In human cells, IFN-y stimulation induces activation of IDO, which leads to a depletion of Trp, thereby arresting the growth of Tip-dependent intracellular pathogens such as Toxoplasma gondii and Chlamydia trachomatis. IDO activity also has an antiproliferative effect on many tumor cells, and IDO induction has been observed in vivo during rejection of allogeneic tumors, indicating a possible role for this enzyme in the tumor rejection process.

Problems solved by technology

Anatomic separation of mother and fetus and antigenic immaturity of the fetus cannot fully explain fetal allograft survival.

Method A

Syntheses of Dithiocarbamates with Variations in S-Alkyl Groups (Scheme 1)

[0702]

[0703]A solution of tryptamine 1 (1.0 equiv) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (10 mL) at 0° C. was treated sequentially with triethylamine (1.1 equiv) then carbon disulfide (1.1 equiv) and stirred for 30 min. After this time, alkyl bromide 2 (1.2 equiv unless indicated otherwise) was added and the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was then poured into 1 M H2SO4 and extracted with EtOAc (3×10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography (silica, EtOAc / hexanes) afforded the desired product. The dithiocarbamate product typically exists as a z 7:3 mixture of tautomers observed by 1H NMR, and are listed with spectral data.

[0706]

[0707]The reaction of 1 with 4-fluorophenethyl bromide (0.6 equiv) was performed as described in Method A. Purification by flash chromatography (silica, gradient of 12% EtOAc / Hexanes to 100% EtOAc) afforded product 00003 (0.084 g, 31%) as a yellow oil: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.04 (br s, 1H), 7.63 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.39 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.24-7.13 (m, 4H), 7.08-7.04 (m, 1H), 7.00-6.94 (m, 2H), 6.92 (br s, 1H), 4.11-4.07 (m, 2H), 3.46-3.43 (m, 2H), 3.14 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 2.94-2.91 (m, 2H) and signals due to a minor tautomer (ca. 31%): 3.79-3.75 (m), 3.55-3.52 (m), 3.11-3.09 (m), 3.01-2.98 (m); ESI MS m / z 359 [M+H]+, HPLC (Method 1) 95.3% (AUC), tR=13.7 min.
