Navoximod, OTOH, appears to be a direct inhibitor of IDO. Here's the underlying patent app:

Imidazole Derivatives as IDO Inhibitors

Interestingly, in light of Indoximod's MOA, Indoximod and Navoximod were shown to be synergistic at 2013 AACR:

NLG919, a novel indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO)-pathway inhibitor drug candidate for cancer therapy

See the upper right of the poster. Would NLNK try this combo now that they own both?

I understand that losing validation from Genentech is a serious blow, but are these assets as worthless as AF suggests (he wondered why NLNK trades above cash)?

Cheers, Tuck

<So, I get what MZ and AF are saying. Indoximod seems to work by by targeting an indirect effect of IDO,...>
Correct, and at 200-2000 mg dose it is more like supplement that enzyme inhibitor. I have no idea how Roche give away $150M for this "krap"?
