Product Description
Indoximod (1-Methyl-D-tryptophan) is an orally bioactive indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) pathway inhibitor. Indoximod works as a Trp mimetic, regulating mTOR. Indoximod is an immunometabolic adjuvant useful in cancer-related research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
One-methyl-tryptophan, an IDO inhibitor, comes in two stereoisomers, each of which may have distinct pharmacological characteristics. In studies utilizing HeLa cells and the pure enzyme, the L isomer exhibits greater potency as an inhibitor of IDO activity. On the other hand, the inhibition of T cells caused by dendritic cells expressing IDO is considerably more effectively reversed by the D isomer. The competitive inhibitory action of 1-methyl-tryptophan was observed for the L isomer (Ki=19 μM), while the d isomer exhibited significantly lower efficacy. The DL combination has a Ki of 35 μM, making it intermediate[1].
ln Vivo
Tested in mouse models of transplantable melanoma and transplantable and autochthonous breast cancer, the D isomer is more effective as an anticancer agent in chemo-immunotherapy regimens using NSC-26271, NSC 125973, or LY 188011. Since mice with an IDO gene disruption (IDO-knockout mice) completely lose the antitumor effect of d-1-methyl-tryptophan, the D isomer of 1-methyl-tryptophan specifically targets the IDO gene. When combined with NSC 125973, oral dl-1-methyl-tryptophan administration has been shown to cause autochthonous breast tumor regression[1].

Additional Infomation
Indoximod is an indolyl carboxylic acid.
Indoximod has been used in trials studying the treatment of Glioma, Melanoma, Ependymoma, Gliosarcoma, and Lung Cancer, among others.
Indoximod is a methylated tryptophan with immune checkpoint inhibitory activity. Indoximod inhibits the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), which degrades the essential amino acid tryptophan, and may increase or maintain tryptophan levels important to T cell function. Tryptophan depletion is associated with immunosuppression involving T cell arrest and anergy.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
