Jejucarbazoles A-C, Carbazole Glycosides with Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 inhibitory activity from Streptomyces sp. KCB15JA151

Abstract

A bioassay-guided investigation led to the isolation of three new carbazole glycosides, jejucarbazoles A？C (1？3), from Streptomyces sp. KCB15JA151. Their planar structures were elucidated by detailed NMR and MS spectroscopic analysis with a literature study. Their relative and absolute configurations were established by ROESY correlations, coupling constants, LC-MS analysis of thiocarbamoyl-thiazolidine carboxylate derivatives, and ECD calculation. Compounds 1？3 showed indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 18.38, 9.17, and 8.81 μM. The molecular docking analysis suggested that all compounds act as heme-displacing inhibitors against IDO1 enzyme.
