INCB-024360, also known as epacadostat, is an oral small molecule selective IDO1 inhibitor (IC50 = 71.8nM) [1]. INCB-024360 can selectively inhibit IDO1 enzyme activity and block the pathway of tryptophan metabolism to kynurenine [2]. INCB-024360 is mainly used to treat advanced or metastatic solid tumors [3-4].
In SKOV-3 cells, INCB-024360 (10-3-104nM; 24h, 48h, 72h) increases IDO1 protein expression [5]. In HT-29 cells, INCB-024360 (10μM; 96h) reduced cell viability [6]. In 4T1 cells, INCB-024360 (1μM; 24h, 48h) sensitize pulmonary metastases to agents targeting hypoxia/nutrient deprivation survival mechanisms [7].
In colon carcinoma xenograft mice model, INCB-024360 (100mg/kg; ig; 2h) effectively inhibits the metabolism of tryptophan to kynurenine by achieving high drug exposure in areas with high IDO1 expression, significantly reducing the Kyn/Trp ratio, thereby restoring immune activity and enhancing anti-tumor efficacy [8]. In in wild-type and PD-1-negative mice, co-administration of the CTLA-4 blocking antibody 9D9 and/or the IDO1 inhibitor INCB-024360 (300mg/kg; ig; 27d) (to mimic the effects of PD1 blockade) synergistically induced liver injury and immune cell infiltration [9]. In TAC-induced WT mice, INCB-024360 (50mg/kg; sc; 4 weeks) inhibits IDO1 and ameliorates pathological cardiac hypertrophy and remodeling [10].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | SKOV-3 cells |
Preparation Method | The cell viability of SKOV-3 cells exposed to INCB-024360 was analyzed by MTT assay. Cells were seeded at the final concentration of 5 x 103 cells/100µL/well in a 96-well plate, and treated with INCB-024360 for 24, 48, and 72 hours. Vehicle-treated cells were used as control. At each time point, the stimulus was removed and cells were provided with 110µL/well of complete medium containing MTT at the final concentration of 0.45mg/mL. After 4 hours at 37℃, 100µL/well of the solubilization buffer (SDS 10% in HCl 0.01M) were added and cells were incubated overnight at 37℃. The day after, cell viability was determined by measuring the absorbance at 570nm, by using a UV/visible spectrophotometer. |
Reaction Conditions | 10-3-104nM; 24h, 48h, 72h |
Applications | INCB-024360 increases IDO1 protein expression in SKOV-3 cells. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Colon carcinoma xenograft mice model |
Preparation Method | Colon carcinoma CT26 cell line was subcutaneously grafted into BALB/c mice (Charles River Laboratories, France). Mice were randomized and treatment was started when tumors had an average size of 70-120mm3. Mice were treated by oral gavage with the IDO1 inhibitor, INCB-024360 at 100mg/kg, and then sacrificed 2h later. |
Dosage form | 100mg/kg; ig; 2h |
Applications | INCB-024360 effectively inhibits the metabolism of tryptophan to kynurenine by achieving high drug exposure in areas with high IDO1 expression, significantly reducing the Kyn/Trp ratio, thereby restoring immune activity and enhancing anti-tumor efficacy. |
