The present invention relates to the treatment of autoimmune and/or inflammatory diseases associated with over-expression of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) as well as Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and/or TLR3/TLR4 signaling in nonimmune cells, monocytes, macrophages, and/or dendritic cells in association with related pathologies. This invention also relates to the use of phenylmethimazoles, methimazole derivatives, and tautomeric cyclic thiones for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases associated with Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) as well as Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and/or TLR3/TLR4 signaling in nonimmune cells, monocytes, macrophages, and/or dendritic cells in association with related pathologies. This invention also relates to treating a subject having a disease or condition associated with abnormal Toll-like receptor 3 as well as Toll-like receptor 4 and/or TLR3/TLR4 signaling in nonimmune cells, monocytes, macrophages, and/or dendritic cells in association with related pathologies. The present invention also relates to the treatment of autoimmune-inflammatory pathologies and chemokine and cytokine-mediated diseases associated with TLR overexpression and signaling. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical formulations capable of inhibiting the IRF-3/Type 1 IFN/STAT/ISRE/IRF-1 pathway associated with the Toll-like receptor overexpression or signaling.
本发明涉及治疗与非免疫细胞、单核细胞、巨噬细胞和/或树突状细胞中Toll样受体3(TLR3)以及Toll样受体4(TLR4)和/或TLR3/TLR4信号过度表达有关的自身免疫性和/或炎症性疾病,以及相关病理。本发明还涉及苯基甲巯咪唑、甲巯咪唑衍生物和同分异构环硫代甲烷用于治疗与非免疫细胞、单核细胞、巨噬细胞和/或树突状细胞中的Toll样受体3(TLR3)以及Toll样受体4(TLR4)和/或TLR3/TLR4信号转导相关的自身免疫性和炎症性疾病。本发明还涉及治疗与非免疫细胞、单核细胞、巨噬细胞和/或树突状细胞中 Toll 样受体 3 以及 Toll 样受体 4 和/或 TLR3/TLR4 信号异常有关的疾病或病症。本发明还涉及治疗与 TLR 过度表达和信号转导相关的自身免疫炎症性病症以及趋化因子和细胞因子介导的疾病。本发明还涉及能够抑制与 Toll 样受体过度表达或信号转导相关的 IRF-3/1型 IFN/STAT/ISRE/IRF-1 通路的药物制剂。
