Ordering Information

Biological Activity

LY-3381916 is a potent, selective, and brain-penetrant indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) inhibitor. By targeting IDO1, it blocks the catalytic conversion of tryptophan to kynurenine, thereby relieving immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment and restoring immune surveillance. Publicly reported preclinical evaluations demonstrate that LY-3381916 effectively crosses the blood-brain barrier and exhibits marked anti-tumor activity in targeted cancer models. [1]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
