Herein we report the first exploration of a dual-targeting drug design strategy to improve the efficacy of small-molecule cancer immunotherapy. New hybrids of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) inhibitors and DNA alkylating nitrogen mustards that respectively target IDO1 and DNA were rationally designed. As the first-in-class examples of such molecules, they were found to exhibit significantly enhanced anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo with low toxicity. This proof-of-concept study has established a critical step toward the development of a novel and effective immunotherapy for the treatment of cancers.
