Introduction Results • Like IDO, TDO catalyses the oxidative cleavage of the L-trp indole ring to form N-formyl-L-kynurenine (1). • TDO is an homotetrameric enzyme(2-3). • Located exclusively in the liver(1). • Expressed in many tumor cells(4). • It prevents tumor surveillance by the immune system(4). • It prevents tumor rejection by locally degrading tryptophan(4). • Only one series of compounds reported so far and characterized by a (fluoro)indole scaffold substituted in the 3-position by a pyridinyl-vinyl side chain(5-6). Compounds Compounds IDO or TDO IC50= 14,5µM [9,9à 21,4]µM IC50= 80,7µM [46,7 à 139,5]µM O2 N-formyl-L-Kynurenine L-Tryptophan speed speed Cellular assay (UCL) Cellular assay(UCL) NI@200µM 40%@200µM 5. Structural analysis (a) (b) 2. Objectives To date, the 3-D coordinates of TDO from Ralstonia metallidurans(rmTDO)(7) and Xanthomonas Campestris (xcTDO)(8) only have been reported. As these two bacterial strains share a high sequence identity with the human form, this constitutes an excellent template to build a 3-D model of the human TDO. The aim of this work is to use this model in structure-bond virtual screnning to discover novel inhibitors of this enzyme. 37°C – 10min 37°C – 30min TDO 3.

Several pharmocomodulations will be realized to improve these analogues. For the first series, the unsubstituted pyridin group in R1. For the R2 position, some substitution were better like –OMe or –COOH in 4 and 5 position on the pyridin group. For the second series, a –NH group in R1, a sulphur in R2, a cyano group in R3 and R4, a amino group in R5 and finally a furan in R6. Theses modifications will be improve the inhibition of theses series. 9. References 8.

In conclusion, a virtual screen combining various filter including high-throughput docking in a 3-D model of hTDO was used to search for novel TDO inhibitors. From the 49 find compounds identified and arranged, three compounds exhibited > 50% TDO inhibition at 100µM. Analogues were purchased in two series. Two novel hits were confirmed in the analogues. Theses modifications will be improve the inhibition of theses series. Acknowledgements L.M. thanks the Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique-FNRS for the award of a Télévie grant (7.4.543.07F).
