Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) 1 is the key enzyme for regulating tryptophan metabolism and is an important target for interrupting tumor immune escape. In this study, we designed four series of compounds as potential IDO1 inhibitors by attaching various fragments or ligands to indole or phenylimidazole scaffolds to improve binding to IDO1. The compounds were synthesized and their inhibitory activities against IDO1 and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase were evaluated. The cytotoxicities of the compounds against two tumor cell lines were also determined. Two compounds with a phenylimidazole scaffold (DX-03-12 and DX-03-13) showed potent IDO1 inhibition with IC50 values of 0.3–0.5 μM. These two IDO1 inhibitors showed low cell cytotoxicity, which indicated that they may exert their anti-tumor effect via immune modulation. Compound DX-03-12 was investigated further by determining the in vivo pharmacokinetic profile and anti-tumor efficacy. The pharmacokinetic study revealed that DX-03-12 had satisfactory properties in mice, with rapid absorption, moderate plasma clearance (～36% of hepatic blood flow), acceptable half-life (～4.6 h), and high oral bioavailability (～96%). Daily oral administration of 60 mg/kg of compound DX-03-12 decreased tumor growth by 72.2% after 19 days in a mouse melanoma cell B16-F10 xenograft model compared with the untreated control. Moreover, there was no obvious weight loss in DX-03-12-treated mice. In conclusion, compound DX-03-12 is a potent lead compound for developing IDO1 inhibitors and anti-tumor agents.

A base mediated environmentally benign one-pot efficient methodology has been developed for the synthesis of [1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]indol-4-ones using indoline-2-thiones and propiolate esters in aqueous medium. The conjugate addition of thiones first results in ethyl (3-(indol-2-yl)thio)acrylates in situ, which subsequently undergoes intramolecular cyclization to produce indole-fused thiazin-4-ones in good to excellent yields. The cytotoxic screening of the synthesized compounds using MTT assay revealed the anti-proliferative nature of these frameworks against triple negative breast cancer cell lines with the highest activity emanating from 4H-[1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]indol-4-one and 8-methyl-2-propyl-4H-[1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]indol-4-one compounds.

A metal-free, mild and efficient method for the synthesis of thiazolo[3,2- a ]indoles has been developed starting from indoline-2-thiones. The reaction methodology involves first the formation of thermally labile 2-(prop-2-ynylthio)-1 H -indole intermedia

(Chemical Equation Presented) Efficient syntheses of the phytoalexins brassilexin, sinalexin, and analogues are demonstrated through the application of the Vilsmeier formylation to indoline-2-thiones followed by a new aqueous ammonia workup procedure. Similarly, a very concise two-pot synthesis of the phytoalexins wasalexins using sequential formylation-amination of indolin-2-ones is described. Remarkably, this novel aqueous ammonia workup allows the sequential one-pot formylation-amination, expanding substantially the scope of the Vilsmeier formylation of both indoline-2-thiones and indolin-2-ones. The examination of the formylation-amination reaction and optimization of conditions, as well as the syntheses and antifungal activities of several brassilexin analogues, are reported.
