    [0080] Step 1: Synthesis of Compound BB-1-2

    [0081] BB-1-1 (20.00 g, 302.76 mmol, 19.05 mL, 1.00 eq) was dissolved in water (436.00 mL), and stirred for 5 minutes. The reaction solution was cooled in an ice bath to 0 C. Sodium nitrite (22.98 g, 333.04 mmol, 18.09 mL, 1.10 eq) was added, and then hydrochloric acid (6 M, 3.53 mL, 0.07 eq) was added. After 15 minutes, the ice bath was removed. After the reaction solution was stirred at 25 C. for 1.5 hours, a 50% hydroxylamine aqueous solution (60.00 g, 908.28 mmol, 3.00 eq) was added all at once. After the reaction solution was stirred continuously at 25 C. for 1 hour, the reaction solution was slowly heated to reflux. The reaction was carried out at reflux for 2 hours before being slowly cooled to 25 C., and was allowed to further react for 16 hours. At 0 C., the reaction solution was adjusted to have pH=7.0 with 6 N hydrochloric acid (70 mL, slowly added dropwise for about 30 minutes), and continued to be stirred at 0 C. for 1 hour. A solid precipitate appeared and was filtered and washed with water. A light yellow solid was collected and dried in the air, without the need of further purification. The product BB-1-2 (38.08 g, yield: 87.89%, purity: 100%) was finally obtained as a light yellow solid. MS (ESI) m/z:144 [M+H].sup.+.

The mixture was heated to 25 C. and stirred for 16 hours. With LCMS monitoring showing about half of raw materials remaining, the mixture was diluted by addition of 250 mL of water, and subjected to suction filtration. A resultant white solid was rinsed with water (25 mL*3). The solid was dissolved in ethyl acetate (200 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and filtered. A filtrate was dried by rotary evaporation under reduced-pressure distillation. Purification was performed by flash silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate=10:1) to obtain a light yellow solid product BB-1 (1.29 g, yield: 39.20%, purity: 98.14%).

    [0233] A compound BB-1-7 (300.00 mg, 806.32 umol, 1.00 eq) was dissolved in methanol (4.00 mL). Sodium hydroxide (129.01 mg, 3.23 mmol, 4.00 eq) was dissolved in water (1.00 mL) and added to the reaction solution. After the addition of sodium hydroxide, the reaction solution turned yellow from colorless, and a solid precipitated. Upon continuous stirring, the solid gradually disappeared. The reaction was carried out at a room temperature for 16 hours. Complete reaction of raw materials was observed by LCMS monitoring, and a desired compound was generated. The resulting compound mixture was adjusted to pH=5 with 1 M hydrochloric acid, followed by rotary evaporation under reduced-pressure distillation to remove methanol, extraction with ethyl acetate (10 mL*3), drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and filtration. A filtrate was dried by rotary evaporation under reduced-pressure distillation, and dissolved in methanol, and filtered. A filtrate was separated by high performance liquid chromatography (Phenomenex Synergi C18 150*30 mm*4 um water (0.05% HCl)-ACN), to obtain a product 0052 (167.72 mg, yield: 62.82%, purity: 100%).

    [0389] 2. Preparation of Standard Solution

    [0390] 50% acetonitrile solution and 50% buffer (A, B) were mixed together to obtain a diluent. 10 mM (20 L/compound) stock solution was added to acetonitrile (480 L/compound), and mixed with the buffer (A, B) (500 L/compound) to obtain 200 M UV detection standard solution. The 200 M UV detection standard solution was diluted with the diluent 10 times or 200 times the amount of the standard solution, so as to acquire 20 M or 1 M UV standard solution. 1, 20, and 200 M UV standard solutions were taken as standard samples for thermodynamic solubility test.

    [0391] 3. Method

    [0392] 3.1 Sample Preparation, Shaking, and Filtering

    [0393] No less than 2 mg of a sample powder was weighed and placed in a Whatman miniuniprep vial. If it was required to test the thermodynamic solubility of the sample in multiple buffers (A, B), an independent vial was demanded for each test. 450 L of the buffer (A, B) was respectively added to each Whatman miniuniprep vial. After the buffer was added, a piston cover of the Whatman miniuniprep functioning to filter was put on and pressed above a liquid surface, such that a filter screen was in contact with the buffer (A, B) during the shaking. The solubility sample was shaken in a vortex manner for 1 minute, and phenomenon of the solution was recorded. The sample was shaken at 600 rpm at a room temperature (approximately 2225 C.) for 24 hours. The filtering cover of Whatman Miniunipreps was pressed to a bottom, to obtain a filtrate of the sample solubility solution. All sample vials should be recorded for insoluble substances before and after the filtration and leakage phenomenon thereof. The buffer (A, B) was 50-fold diluted to obtain a sample diluent.

    [0394] 3.2 Analysis and Detection

    [0432] The samples were all centrifuged at 3220 g for 10 minutes after being shaken in a vortex manner. A suitable volume of a supernatant was transferred to a sample analyzing plate. If analysis was not carried out immediately after the plate was sealed, the plate was stored at 2-8 C. The analysis was carried out through a method of LC/MS/MS.

    [0433] 2.5 Test for Cell Membrane Integrity

    [0434] After the transport experiment was ended, integrity of Caco-2 cells was tested through Lucifer Yellow Rejection Assay. After a Lucifer Yellow solution was incubated for 30 minutes, a Lucifer Yellow sample was collected, and relative fluorescence intensity (the relative fluorescence unit, RFU) of the Lucifer Yellow in the sample was detected at 425/528 nm (excitation/emission) with a 2.sup.e plate reader.

    [0435] 2.6 Sample Analysis

    [0436] The sample for test, the fenoterol control, propranolol control, and digoxin were analyzed in a semiquantitative manner, and specific values of analytes to a peak area of the internal standard were taken as concentration of the controls.

    [0445] 3. Dose Design and Administration Route and Frequency

    [0446] Preliminary experimental research showed that via gavage administration by 100 mg/kg bid, the compound 360 had a tumor inhibitory rate of 30-50% for CT26, substantially reaching a maximum efficacy plateau. Therefore, the dose of the two compounds, compound 360 and compound 117, in the present experiment was set as 100 mg/kg. In order to observe dose-efficacy relevance of 231, a dose of the compound 231 was set as 25, 50, 100, 200 mg/kg in the present experiment. All drugs were administered by gavage, twice a day.

    [0447] 4. Selection and Preparation of Model

    [0448] According to document reports, mice colon cancer CT26 is a commonly used tumor model for evaluating immunological drugs. The IDO inhibitor compound 360 can effectively inhibit growth of tumors in the above model. Therefore, CT26-bearng BALB/c models were chosen in the present experiment for research on efficacy and tissue distribution.

    [0449] Tumor cells in logarithmic phase were collected, and re-suspended in a serum-free medium, and adjusted in cell concentration to be 510.sup.5/mL, followed by addition of Matrigel of an equal volume to the cell suspension, such that the cells had a final concentration of 510.sup.5/mL. In a super-clean bench, each mouse was subcutaneously inoculated with 0.2 mL of the tumor cell suspension at shoulder, with an inoculation amount of 110.sup.5 per mouse. When a tumor block grew to be 500-1000 mm.sup.3, the tumor block was taken out, cut into pieces with scissors, and subcutaneously inoculated at shoulder at the mouse's back using a subcutaneous embedding implantation puncture needle (with a diameter of 1.2 mm).

    [0450] 5. Grouping and Administration

    [0451] The day of tumor inoculation was defined as Day 0, and the inoculated animals were grouped randomly on the day of inoculation. One day after the inoculation (Day 1), the administration was started. The experiment had 7 groups in total, with 12 animals in each group. See details in Table 12 for information on animal grouping and administration.

    [0452] 6. Observation of Indexes

    [0453] It was an experimental cycle when the tumor in the control group grew to have a volume of 3000 mm.sup.3. The following indexes were observed during the experiment.

    [0454] (1) As for tumor growth curve, when the tumor was measurable, a maximum diameter (a) and a minimum diameter (b) of the tumor were measured once every other day, to calculate the tumor volume (a calculation formula is V=ab.sup.2), and anti-tumor effect of the tested drug was observed dynamically.

    [0455] (2) As for outcome rate, when the experiment was ended, the outcome rate of each group of animals was observed.

    [0456] (3) As for animal weight, body weight of the mouse was weighed each time when the tumor diameter was measured or before the administration, and death of the animals was observed once a day.

    [0457] (4) As for tumor inhibitory rate, when the experiment was ended, the mice were killed by cervical dislocation, the tumor blocks were taken out and weighed, to calculate the tumor inhibitory rate, where tumor inhibitory rate=(mean tumor weight of the control group-mean tumor weight of the treatment group)/mean tumor weight of the control group100%), and the tumor blocks were photographed with a digital camera for recording.

    [0458] 7. Experimental Results

    [0459] 7.1 Death and Body Weight of Tumor-Bearing Mice

    [0460] During the whole test, no animal died, surviving animals in each group had an increased body weight compared with those before administration. When the test was ended, the animals in the control group were increased by 16.0% in body weight, while the magnitude of increase in body weight of the animals in each administration group was reduced (4.4%-12.0%). Results were shown in FIG. 1 and Table 12. When the experiment was ended, the animals in group 117 and group 231 50 mg/kg, group 231 100 mg/kg, and group 231 200 mg/kg had remarkably decreased weight compared to those in the control group (P<0.05), and the body weight of the animals in group 360 and group 231 25 mg/kg had no significant difference than the control group (P>0.05). Therefore, with a relatively high dose of the compound 231, the increase magnitude of the animal weight could be modestly reduced, but the animal weight was still increased.

    [0461] 7.2 Tumor Volume

    [0462] During the test, mean tumor volumes of group 360 and group 117 were always less than that of the control group, but without statistical difference (P>0.05). The tumor volume of the group 231 25 mg/kg (low dose), was remarkably less than that of the control group at Day 10 and Day 12 (P<0.05); the tumor volumes of 231 groups with a dose equal to or greater than 50 mg/kg were always remarkably less than that of the control group (P<0.05) from Day 10 to the end of the test. See details in FIG. 2 and Table 13 for results and statistical analysis.

    [0463] 7.3 Tumor Weight

    [0464] When the experiment was ended, mean tumor weight of group 360 and group 117 was less than that of the control group, but without statistical difference. The tumor inhibitory effect of the compound 231 was shown to be dose-dependent, and with 25, 50, 100 mg/kg, the mean tumor weight was less than that of the control group, but without statistical difference; and with 200 mg/kg of 231, the mean tumor weight was remarkably less than that of the control group (P<0.05), with a tumor inhibitory rate of 56.8%. With the same dose of 100 mg/kg, 231 and 360 had equivalent tumor inhibitory effect, superior to 117; for group 117, there was one animal on which no tumor block grew when the test was ended. See details in FIG. 3, accompanying drawings, and Table 14 for results and statistical analysis.

    [0465] 8. Conclusion

    [0466] The purpose of research in the present experiment is assessing phase I metabolic stability of the sample for test in CD-1 mice, SD rats, and human liver microsomes. Under the conditions of the present experiment, the compound 231 could inhibit growth of CT26 transplanted tumor in a dose-dependent manner, with effect superior to the compound 117 and the compound 360, but could modestly decrease the increase in body weight of the tumor-bearing mice.

    Test Example 3

    Stability Experiment for Human Liver Microsomes

    [0467] The animals and human liver microsomes used in this test system were purchased from BD Gentest, Xenotech, Corning or BioreclamationIVT, and stored in a refrigerator at 80 C. before use.

    [0468] The sample for test and control were incubated together with the microsomes under a condition of 37 C. for 60 minutes, and a cold acetonitrile solution (or other organic solvents) containing an internal standard substance was added at a designated time point to terminate the reaction. After centrifugation, a resultant supernatant was assayed in a semiquantitative manner through liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Software Analyst (AB Sciex, Framingham, Mass., USA) was used for processing retention time of analyte and internal standard, and achieving chromatogram collection, and chromatogram integration

    [0469] An in vitro elimination rate constant ke of the sample was obtained by converting a ratio of the sample to a peak area of the internal standard to remaining percentage, to calculate an in vitro elimination rate and half-life of the sample for test. Results are as shown in Table 15:

    TABLE-US-00022 TABLE 15 Test Compounds 231 227 Remaining % (60 min), H/R/M 81.6/64.8/35.8 56.9/21.6/11.0 Intrinsic clearance (mL/min/kg) <8.6, 23.7, 134.3 15.3, 91.9, 274.8

    [0470] Discussion: the compound 231 is metabolized in a relatively steady manner in human and rat liver microsomes, but metabolized quickly in mice. The compound 227 is metabolized in a moderate manner in human liver microsomes, and metabolized quickly in both rats and mice, inferior to the compound 231 in metabolic stability.

    Test Example 4

    Experiment for Inhibition on Human Liver Microsome CYP

    [0471] The research project aimed at evaluating inhibitory ability of a sample for test on human liver microsome cytochrome P450 isozymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4) with use of a 5-in-1 probe substrate for CYP isozymes.

    [0472] Mixed human liver microsomes (HLM) were purchased from Corning Inc. (Steuben, N.Y., USA) or XenoTech, LLC. (Lenexa, Kans., USA) or other suppliers, and stored in a condition below 70 C. before use.

    [0473] Diluted working solutions of the sample for test in serial concentrations were added to an incubation system containing the human liver microsomes, probe substrate, and accessory factors of a cycling system, and a control containing no sample for test but a solvent was taken as a control for enzymatic activity (100%). Concentration of metabolites generated by the probe substrate in the sample was measured with a method of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Nonlinear regression analysis of mean percentage activity vs concentration of the sample for test was carried out using SigmaPlot (V.11). An IC.sup.50 value was calculated through a three-parameter or four-parameter inflection logarithmic equation. Test results are in Table 16:

    TABLE-US-00023 TABLE 16 Compounds Tested 231 227 CYP1A2, 2C9, >50, >50, 36.4, >50, >50 13.0, 15.9, 3.61, 26.1, 39.2 2C19, 2D6, 3A4 (IC50, M)

    [0474] Discussion: the compound 231 had relatively weak effect in inhibiting all of the five CYP isozymes. The inhibiting effects of the compound 227 on the five CYP isozymes were all superior to the compound 231, and the inhibiting effect on CYP2C19 was in an intermediate degree.

    Test Example 5

    Pharmacokinetics Experiment of Mice In Vivo

    [0475] The present experiment aimed at researching status of pharmacokinetics of a sample for test in plasma of male CD-1 mice after single intravenous injection.

    [0476] 1. Test Method

    [0477] Three animals in an intravenous group were intravenously injected with the sample for test by 1 mg/kg, and a formulation was 0.2 mg/mL settled solution of 5% DMSO/95% (10% HP--CD). 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, and 24 hours after the administration, blood was collected and prepared into a plasma specimen, with an anticoagulant of EDTA-K.sub.2. Plasma concentration data was obtained by analyzing the specimen through LC-MS/MS.

    [0478] 2. Data Analysis

    [0479] The plasma drug concentration data was processed with a non-compartment model using WinNonlin Version 6.3 (Pharsight, Mountain View, Calif.) pharmacokinetics software. Following pharmacokinetics parameters were calculated using a log-linear trapezoidal method: elimination phase half-life (T.sub.1/2), apparent volume of distribution (V.sub.dss), and clearance rate (CL), mean retention time of drug in body from point 0 to end time point (MRT.sub.0-last), mean retention time of drug in body from point 0 to infinite time (MRT.sub.0-inf), area under a time-plasma concentration curve from point 0 to end time point (AUC.sub.0-last), area under a time-plasma concentration curve from point 0 to infinite time (AUC.sub.0-inf), and initial concentration (C.sub.0). Results are shown in Table 17:

    TABLE-US-00024 TABLE 17 Pharmacokinetics Parameters 231 227 Mouse PK Cl (mL/min/kg) 55.1 64.2 (IV 1 mg/kg) Vd (L/kg) 4.85 2.66 AUC.sub.0-last/inf (nM .Math. h) 852/881 624/628 Conc. (8 h/24 h, nM) 8.16/ND ND/ND T.sub.1/2 (h): 2.44 0.867

    [0480] Discussion: the two compounds both had a medium clearing rate in bodies of mice, the compound 231 had higher AUC than the compound 227, and also had apparent volume of distribution and half-life much greater than those of the compound 227.
