KYN-101 (KYN101) is a potent, selective synthetic antagonist of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) with IC50 of 22 nM in human HepG2 DRE-luciferase reporter assay and 23 nM in murine Hepa1 Cyp-luc assay.KYN-101 reverses IDO/TDO-mediated tumor progression and improves the efficacy of PD-1 blockade in B16 IDO tumor-bearing mice, as well as CT26 colorectal cancer model expressing endogenous high levels of IDO.
