The programmed cell death-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) immune checkpoint serves to mediate peripheral immune tolerance and to protect against excessive inflammation and autoimmunity. Several tumors evoke immunosuppressive mechanisms to evade immune system attacks. Cancer immunotherapies targeting the PD1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint pathway have reversed the immunosuppression defensive approaches, resulting in remarkable clinical effects. A series of C2-symmetric inhibitors was designed and evaluated for inhibitory activity against the PD-1/PD-L1 protein-protein interaction (IC50’s in the nM range). X-ray structural studies provided structural insights into the interaction, using XRD2 data.
