Application

680C91 has been used:
  • as a tryptophan 2,3 dioxygenase (TDO) inhibitor to study its effects on the pigmentation in Doryteuthis pealeii embryos
  • as a TDO inhibitor to study its effects on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in xenograft tumor assay
  • as a tryptophan 2,3 dioxygenase 2 (TDO2) inhibitor to study its effects on toxic fragment formation in human embryonic kidney cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

680C91 is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), which directs the conversion of trypophan to kynurenin. Kynurenin has recently been identified as an endogenous lignd of the arylhydrocarbon receptor (AHR). TDO is highly expressed in glioma cells, and contributes to AHR-mediated glioma cell survival and suppression of anti-tumor immune responses.
680C91 shows no inhibitory effects against monoamine oxidase A and B, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase and serotonin (5-HT) uptake, and 5-HT1A,1D,2A, and 2C receptors.

Metabolites of the kynurenine pathway (KP) of tryptophan (TRP) degradation have been closely linked to the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders. Recent work has highlighted the therapeutic potential of inhibiting two critical regulatory enzymes in this pathway-kynurenine-3-monooxygenase (KMO) and tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 or Machado-Joseph disease (SCA3/MJD) is characterized by the repetition of a CAG codon in the ataxin-3 gene (ATXN3), which leads to the formation of an elongated mutant ATXN3 protein that can neither be denatured nor undergo

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) and more recently, tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), are tryptophan-catabolizing enzymes with immunoregulatory properties in cancer. IDO1 is more expressed than TDO in many tumours including melanomas; however, IDO inhibitors did not give expected results in clinical trials, highlighting
