Tryptophan Metabolism in Obesity: The Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase-1 Activity and Therapeutic Options. (PubMed, Adv Exp Med Biol)
IDO-producing tumors show a high total IDO immunostaining score, and thus, using IDO inhibitors, such as Epacadostat, Navoximod, and L isomer of 1-methyl-tryptophan, seems an important modality for cancer treatment...Antitumor effects of imatinib are enhanced by increasing T-cell effector function in the presence of IDO inhibition. Combining IDO targeting with chemotherapy, radiotherapy and/or immunotherapy, may be an effective tool against a wide range of malignancies. However, there are some controversial results regarding the efficacy of IDO1 inhibitors in cancer treatment.

GSH-responsive polymeric micelles-based augmented photoimmunotherapy synergized with PD-1 blockade for eliciting robust antitumor immunity against colon tumor. (PubMed, J Nanobiotechnology)
To address these issues, self-assembled multifunctional polymeric micelles (RIMNA) were developed to co-deliver photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG), oxygenator MnO2, IDO inhibitor NLG919, and toll-like receptor 4 agonist monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA)...RIMNA-based photoimmunotherapy synergized with PD-1 antibody could remarkably inhibit primary tumor proliferation, as well as stimulate the immunity to greatly suppress lung metastasis and distant tumor growth. This study offers an efficient method to reinforce the efficacy of phototherapy and alleviate immunosuppression, thereby bringing clinical benefits to cancer treatment.

A theoretical study on the activity and selectivity of IDO/TDO inhibitors. (PubMed, Phys Chem Chem Phys)
Furthermore, the binding and dissociation processes of the C1 inhibitor (NLG919) were simulated by the adaptive steering molecular dynamics (ASMD) method, which not only addressed the possible stable, metastable, and transition states for C1 inhibitor-IDO/TDO interactions, but also accurately predicted kinetic data for C1 inhibitor binding and dissociation. In conclusion, we have constructed a complete process from enzyme (IDO/TDO) conformational activation to inhibitor binding/dissociation and used the thermodynamic and kinetic data of each link as clues to verify the control mechanism of IDO/TDO on inhibitor selectivity. This is of great significance for us to understand the design principles of tumor immunotherapy drugs and to avoid drug resistance of immunotherapy drugs.

Intelligent nanovesicle for remodeling tumor microenvironment and circulating tumor chemoimmunotherapy amplification. (PubMed, J Nanobiotechnology)
At present, despite 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), as a clinical first-line FOLFIRINOX chemo-drug, has achieved significant therapeutic effects...Therefore, a metal matrix protease-2 (MMP-2) and endogenous GSH dual-responsive liposomal-based nanovesicle, co-loading with 5-FU (anti-cancer drug) and NLG919 (IDO1 inhibitor), was constructed (named as ENP919@5-FU)...Moreover, the combination of ENP919@5-FU and PD-L1 antibody (αPD-L1) showed a synergistic anti-tumor effect on the PDAC model with abdominal cavity metastasis. Collectively, ENP919@5-FU nanovesicle, as a PDAC treatment strategy, showed excellent antitumor efficacy by remodeling tumor microenvironment to circulate tumor chemoimmunotherapy amplification, which has promising potential in a precision medicine approach.

Ultra-small Janus Nanoparticle-induced Activation of Ferroptosis for Synergistic Tumor Immunotherapy. (PubMed, Acta Biomater)
The production of ROS, consumption of GSH, and photothermal properties of MGNH make it possible for CDT/PTT activated ferroptosis, and synergistically disrupt and reprogram tumor growth and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with NLG919 and Mn2+-mediated activation of cGAS-STING pathway, achieving CDT/PTT/immunotherapy activated by ferroptosis. Meanwhile, ultra-small structural properties of MGNH facilitate subsequent metabolic clearance by the body, allowing for the minimization of potential biotoxicity associated with its prolonged retention.

Targeted pH-Activated Peptide-Based Nanomaterials for Combined Photodynamic Therapy with Immunotherapy. (PubMed, Biomacromolecules)
When treating HeLa cells with PRGD/NLG919 nanosheets followed by laser irradiation, a more robust adaptive immune response occurred, leading to a substantial proliferation of CD3+CD8+ T cells and CD3+CD4+ T cells compared to control groups. Our pH-responsive targeted PRGD/NLG919 nanosheets therefore represent a promising nanosystem for combination therapy, offering effective PDT and an enhanced host immune response.

Enhancing photodynamic immunotherapy by reprograming the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with hypoxia relief. (PubMed, J Control Release)
To simultaneously tackle these issues, a MnO2-containing albumin nanoplatform co-delivering IR780, NLG919, and a paclitaxel (PTX) dimer is designed to boost photodynamic immunotherapy. More importantly, alleviating hypoxia reshapes the immunosuppressive TME via down-regulating the intratumoral infiltration of M2-type TAMs and the PD-L1 expression of tumor cells to enhance the infiltration and efficacy of CTLs in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor NLG919, consequently eradicating primary tumors and almost completely preventing tumor relapse and metastasis. This study sets an example of enhanced immunotherapy for breast cancers through dual ICD induction and simultaneous immunosuppression modulation via both hypoxia relief and ICB, providing a strategy for the treatment of other hypoxic and immunosuppressive cancers.

Tryptophan metabolism regulates inflammatory macrophage polarization as a predictive factor for breast cancer immunotherapy. (PubMed, Int Immunopharmacol)
Moreover, tryptophan facilitated the expression of M1 polarization markers, whereas inhibitors of tryptophan metabolic enzymes, such as NLG919, LM10, and Ro 61-8048, inhibited the expression of M1 polarization markers. In conclusion, this study identified a dual role for macrophage tryptophan metabolism in breast cancer; on the one hand, it promotes macrophage M1 polarization, while on the other hand, it serves as a promising predictor for the effectiveness of immunotherapy in breast cancer.

Controllable hypoxia-activated chemotherapy as a dual enhancer for synergistic cancer photodynamic immunotherapy. (PubMed, Biomaterials)
To simultaneously tackle these pivotal problems, we herein create an albumin-based nanoplatform co-delivering IR780, NLG919 dimer and a hypoxia-activated prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) as the dual enhancer for synergistic cancer therapy. Eventually, enriched intratumoral GSH triggers the activation of NLG919 to mitigate the immunosuppressive TME via specific indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1) inhibition, consequently promoting the intratumoral infiltration of CTLs and the killing of both primary and distant tumors, while the resultant memory T cells allows nearly 100% suppression of tumor recurrence and metastasis. This nanoplatform sets up an example for dully enhanced photodynamic immunotherapy of breast cancer via hypoxia-activated chemotherapy, and paves a solid way for the treatment of other hypoxic and immunosuppressive malignant tumors.

NLG-919 combined with cisplatin to enhance inhibitory effect on cell migration and invasion via IDO1-Kyn-AhR pathway in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell. (PubMed, Can J Physiol Pharmacol)
We proved that the mechanism of the combined therapy could inhibit the activity of IDO1, blocking amino acid tryptophan (Trp) conversion to kynurenine (Kyn) through the kynurenine pathway (KP), which further inhibited the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) expression. Our study underscored the combination of cisplatin and NLG-919 as a potent therapeutic way for reversal of cisplatin resistance.

Sequential delivery of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade peptide and IDO inhibitor for immunosuppressive microenvironment remodeling via an MMP-2 responsive dual-targeting liposome. (PubMed, Acta Pharm Sin B)
Herein, a kind of tumor cascade-targeted responsive liposome (NLG919@Lip-pep1) is developed by conjugating polypeptide inhibitor of PD-1 signal pathway (AUNP-12), which is also a targeted peptide that conjugated with liposome carrier through matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) cleavable peptide (GPLGVRGD). The exposure of secondary targeting module II VRGDC-NLG919@Lip mediated tumor cells targeting, and further relieved the immunosuppressive microenvironment. Overall, this study offers a potentially appealing paradigm of a high efficiency, low toxicity, and simple intelligent responsive drug delivery system for targeted drug delivery in breast cancer, which can effectively rescue and activate the body's anti-tumor immune response and furthermore achieve effective treatment of metastatic breast cancer.

Engineered Living Bacteriophage-Enabled Self-Adjuvanting Hydrogel for Remodeling Tumor Microenvironment and Cancer Therapy. (PubMed, Nano Lett)
In addition, NLG919 was further loaded into a gel to form (M13@Pd/NLG gel) for down-regulating the expression of tryptophan metabolic enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1). Both in vitro and in vivo studies showed that the M13 bacteriophage served not only as a cargo-loaded device but also as a self-immune adjuvant, which induced the immunogenic death of tumor cells effectively and down-regulated IDO1 expression. Such a bioactive gel system constructed by natural living materials could reverse immunosuppression and significantly improve the anti-breast cancer response.

IDO1 inhibition sensitizes metastatic lung tumors to hypoxia/ER stress targeting agent-induced cell death (AACR 2023)
Similarly, when WT 4T1 tumor-bearing mice were administered GSK2656157 together with the IDO1 inhibitors Epacadostat, Indoximod or Navoximod, the attenuated neovascularization and elevated regional hypoxia in lung metastases elicited by IDO1 inhibition was accompanied by an increased level of tumor cell death. Co-administration of the hypoxia-activated prodrug Evofosfamide with Epacadostat likewise resulted in elevated metastatic tumor cell death. This contrasts with results obtained with the non-targeted cytotoxic agent Carboplatin that elicited comparable levels of metastatic tumor cell death regardless of Epacadostat co-administration. Altogether, these data establish the potential to benefit treatment in tumor settings where IDO1 inhibition enhances intra-tumoral hypoxia through neovascular regression by facilitating the ability of hypoxia-targeting agents to effectively eliminate tumor cells in a more targeted manner than can be achieved with conventional chemotherapy.

Herein, a cancer treatment approach that combines photothermal therapy (PTT) and nitric oxide (NO) gas therapy for tumor extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, along with NLG919, an indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor that reduces tryptophan catabolism to kynurenine, and DMXAA, a stimulator of interferon gene (STING) agonist that stimulates antigen cross-presentation, is proposed to overcome this issue...Additional unification of IDO inhibition during PTT supplements the immunotherapy by reducing the T cell apoptosis and immune suppressive cell infiltration to TME. NO-GEL with the STING agonist and IDO inhibitor is an effective therapeutic combination to counter possible limitations during solid tumor immunotherapy.

A novel prodrug and its nanoformulation suppress cancer stem cells by inducing immunogenic cell death and inhibiting indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase. (PubMed, Biomaterials)
Herein, we report a novel prodrug CPT-SS-NLG919 (CN) and its nanoformulation CN@PLA-HES-FA (CN@PHF), which potently suppress CSCs by regulating CSCs niche in murine TNBC 4T1 tumors. Via inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) and simultaneous inhibiting indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO), CN and CN@PHF promote DC maturation, decrease Treg cells, mitigate tryptophan consumption, and reduce the amount of IL-6, IL-13, and TGF-β, converting CSCs niche to a hostile condition for CSCs to live in and eliminating CSCs efficiently, thereby inducing efficient tumor inhibition in 4T1 tumor models. Our work represents a new paradigm of eliminating CSCs by regulating tumor immune microenvironment and suggests that CN and its nanoformulation CN@PHF are promising candidates for the treatment of intractable TNBC.

Delivery of gefitinib with an immunostimulatory nanocarrier improves therapeutic efficacy in lung cancer. (PubMed, Transl Lung Cancer Res)
We previously developed a polyethylene glycol-based (PEG-based) immunostimulatory nanocarrier (PEG-Fmoc-NLG919) which can efficiently co-deliver an indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) inhibitor and the chemotherapeutic agent, paclitaxel. More importantly, treatment with gefitinib-loaded PEG-Fmoc-NLG919 could suppress lung tumor development more efficiently than gefitinib alone in vivo by inducing an immune active microenvironment with more functional CD8 T cells and less regulatory T cell infiltration. Our study therefore demonstrates that delivery of small molecular targeted drugs with the immunostimulatory nanocarrier is a straightforward strategy for improving antitumor response for lung cancer therapy.

We investigated the immunogenic cell death provoked by oxaliplatin (OXA) and the involvement of OXA-induced immunosuppression in colorectal cancer. Simultaneous administration with both OXA and NLG919 greatly promoted CD8 T cell infiltration and decreased immunosuppressive cytokine transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) production, whereas increased immunostimulatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-12p70 and interferon (IFN)-γ. We demonstrated the upregulation of IDO1 by OXA, which combined with the IDO1 inhibitor, tremendously potentiated therapeutic effects of OXA against colorectal cancer.

Triple Drugs Co-Delivered by a Small Gemcitabine-Based Carrier for Pancreatic Cancer Immunochemotherapy. (PubMed, Acta Biomater)
In this work, a redox-responsive gemcitabine (GEM)-conjugated polymer, PGEM, was employed as a tumor penetrating nanocarrier to co-load an immunomodulating agent (NLG919, an inhibitor of 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1)) and a chemotherapeutic drug (paclitaxel (PTX)) for immunochemo combination therapy. Incorporation of NLG919 in the formulation led to a more immunoactive tumor microenvironment with significantly decreased percentage of Treg cells, and increased percentages of CD4 IFNγ T and CD8 IFNγ T cells. PGEM micelles co-loaded with PTX and NLG919 showed the best anti-tumor activity in pancreatic (PANC02) as well as two other tumor models compared to PGEM micelles loaded with PTX or NLG919 alone, suggesting that codelivery of NLG919 and PTX via PGEM may represent an effective strategy for immunochemotherapy of PDA as well as other types of cancers.
