Product Description: IDO1/TDO-IN-8 (Compound CZ-17) is a dual IDO1 and TDO inhibitor that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, with EC50 values of 0.33 μM and 1.78 μM, respectively. IDO1/TDO-IN-8 reduces the kynurenine/tryptophan ratio by regulating the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism. IDO1/TDO-IN-8 has a neuroprotective effect and can alleviate motor dysfunction and improve depressive behavior. IDO1/TDO-IN-8 can be used in the study of Parkinson's disease combined with depression[1].
