PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor 3

Description: PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor 3 is a macrocyclic inhibitor of PD-1/PD-L1 protein-protein interaction. It has been identified to be a potent and selective small molecule inhibitor blocking the interaction of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) with its ligand protein (PD-L1) and with CD80. PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor 3 was also found to act as an immunomodulator. In addition, PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor 3 was found to have highly efficacious binding to PD-L1 and promote the increased functional activities of T cells. Therefore, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor 3 could be regarded as a promising therapeutic treatment of cancer and infectious diseases, such as hepatitis C.
