    The action of arginase, a metalloenzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of arginine to urea and ornithine, is hypothesized to suppress immune-cell activity within the tumor microenvironment, and thus its inhibition may constitute a means by which to potentiate the efficacy of immunotherapeutics such as anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors. Taking inspiration from reported enzyme-inhibitor cocrystal structures, we designed and synthesized novel inhibitors of human arginase possessing a fused 5,5-bicyclic ring system. The prototypical member of this class, 3 , when dosed orally, successfully demonstrated serum arginase inhibition and concomitant arginine elevation in a syngeneic mouse carcinoma model, despite modest oral bioavailability. Structure-based design strategies to improve the bioavailability of this class, including scaffold modification, fluorination, and installation of active-transport recognition motifs were explored.
