PD-1/PD-L1-IN-54

PD-1/PD-L1-IN-54 (Compound 6) is a moderately affinic PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor (KD: PD-1, 55.8 μM; PD-L1, 46.4 μM; IC50: 88.6 μM). PD-1/PD-L1-IN-54 inhibits PD-1/PD-L1 interactions and shows anticancer activity by activating CD8+ T cells, upregulating PD-1 expression, and increasing secretion of IFN-γ and IL-2. PD-1/PD-L1-IN-54 inhibits cancer cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis. PD-1/PD-L1-IN-54 also regulates T cell immunity through the PI3K/Akt pathway correlated with PD-1/PD-L1[1].
