Abstract

Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) is emerging as an important new therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer, chronic viral infections, and other diseases characterized by pathological immune suppression. With the goal of developing more potent IDO inhibitors, a systematic study of 4-phenylimidazole (4-PI) derivatives was undertaken. Computational docking experiments guided design and synthesis efforts with analogues of 4-PI. In ...
