In vitro study | Indoximod significantly reversed T-cell inhibition by IDO-expressing dendritic cells using human monocyte-derived dendritic cells and mouse dendritic cells isolated directly from tumor-draining lymph nodes. Indoximod activates Trp-sufficient signaling to stimulate mTOR and relieves IDO-induced Trp deficiency and autophagic responses. |
In vivo study | In mouse models of transplanted melanoma and transplanted native breast cancer, Indoximod (400 mg/kg p.o.) in combination with chemoimmunotherapy enhances antitumor immunity. |

Biological activity | Indoximod (NLG-8189, 1-Methyl-D-tryptophan), a methylated tryptophan, acts as IDO (indoleamine-(2,3)-dioxygenase) pathway inhibitor, and can reverse IDO-mediated immunosuppression. Phase 2. |
Target | Value |
Use | Used to prepare natural products such as Daling alkaloids (macroline alkaloids); also used in the Pictet-Spengler reaction of tryptophan esters and aldehydes; also Used to synthesize 1-position substituted indolactam precursor. |
