The first chemical enantioselective synthesis of N-hydroxyaspartic acid derivatives using chiral multifunctional thiourea/boronic acid organocatalysts was developed. A series of fumaric monoacids underwent an intermolecular asymmetric aza-Michael addition of O-alkyl hydroxylamines in excellent regioselectivity. The addition of another carboxylic acid raised the enantiomeric enrichment up to 97% ee. O-Deprotection of the aza-Michael adduct provided an aspartate-derived hydroxylamine fragment applicable for KAHA (α-keto acid-hydroxylamine) ligation.

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer, chronic viral infections, and other diseases characterized by pathological immune suppression. Recently important advances have been made in understanding IDO1's catalytic mechanism. Although much remains to be discovered, there is strong evidence that the mechanism proceeds through a heme-iron bound alkylperoxy transition or intermediate state. Accordingly, we explored stable structural mimics of the alkylperoxy species and provide evidence that such structures do mimic the alkylperoxy transition or intermediate state. We discovered that O-benzylhydroxylamine, a commercially available compound, is a potent sub-micromolar inhibitor of IDO1. Structure-activity studies of over forty derivatives of O-benzylhydroxylamine led to further improvement in inhibitor potency, particularly with the addition of halogen atoms to the meta position of the aromatic ring. The most potent derivatives and the lead, O-benzylhydroxylamine, have high ligand efficiency values, which are considered an important criterion for successful drug development. Notably, two of the most potent compounds demonstrated nanomolar-level cell-based potency and limited toxicity. The combination of the simplicity of the structures of these compounds and their excellent cellular activity makes them quite attractive for biological exploration of IDO1 function and antitumor therapeutic applications.
