Abstract: Two series of novel aryl-acrylic derivatives were designed, synthesized, and screened in enzymatic and cellular inhibitory activities. All compounds showed moderate to significant potency. The SAR analyses indicated that the semicarbazone linker is better than the 1,2,3-triazole linker. Among semicarbazone compounds that R1 bearing di-chain amino groups exhibited superior activities to those with morpholino group. Furthermore, compounds with electron-withdrawing groups at the 2-position or 4-position on the terminal phenyl ring were more active. Among these, compounds 7g, 7i, 7m and 7n exhibited the inhibitory potency in the low micromolar range and displayed negligible level of cytotoxicity against normal HeLa cells. In addition, the study suggested that the aryl-acrylic is an interesting novel scaffold for IDO1 inhibition for further development.
