Has a broad specificity towards tryptamine and derivatives including D- and L-tryptophan, 5-hydroxytryptophan and serotonin (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMed Tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase (TDO2) and indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1) are structurally distinct heme enzymes that catalyze the conversion of L-tryptophan to N-formyl-kynurenine, and play important roles in metabolism, inflammation, and tumor immune surveillance. The enzymes can adopt an inactive, heme-free (apo) state or an active, heme-containing (holo) state, with the balance between them varying dynamically according to biological conditions. Inhibitors of holo-TDO2 are known but, despite several advantages of the heme-free state as a drug target, no inhibitors of apo-TDO2 have been reported. We describe the discovery of the first apo-TDO2 binding inhibitors, to our knowledge, and their inhibition of cellular TDO2 activity at low nanomolar concentrations. The crystal structure of a potent, small molecule inhibitor bound to apo-TDO2 reveals its detailed binding interactions within the large, hydrophobic heme binding pocket of the active site.
