Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  IDO Enzyme Activity Inhibition Testing
Description:  The effects of the compounds of the invention on the activity of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) were evaluated by the Ehrlich method.The experimental principle is summarized as follows: IDO1 catalyzes oxidation of tryptophan to form N-formyl kynurenine, N-formyl kynurenine is subsequently hydrolyzed by trichloroacetic acid to form kynurenine, and kynurenine further reacts with the Ehrlich reagent to make the solution yellow. The absorbance at 490 nm (OD490) is directly proportional to the activity of IDO1.
