The invention relates to imidazopyridinones, to their use in medicine, to compositions containing them, to processes for their preparation and to intermediates used in such processes.
By activating TLRs, it should be possible to induce or stimulate immune cells to mount an immune response. In particular, the TLR7 has been implicated in viral infections (such as HCV or HBV), cancers and tumours, and T2 Helper cell (TH2) mediated diseases, and hence TLR7 agonists are potentially useful in the treatment of such diseases.
We have now found a series of imidazopyridinones which are agonists of TLR7. According, there is provided a compound of formula (I)
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, wherein
R
1
is 3- to 8-membered saturated heterocyclic group wherein one ring member is —O—; and
R
2
is phenyl or pyridinyl, each optionally substituted by C
1
-C
6
alkyl.
本发明涉及咪唑吡啶酮及其在医学上的应用,包括含有它们的组合物,制备这些化合物的过程以及用于这些过程的中间体。通过激活TLRs,可以诱导或刺激免疫细胞产生免疫反应。特别是,TLR7已被认为与病毒感染(如丙型肝炎病毒或乙型肝炎病毒)、癌症和肿瘤以及T2辅助细胞(TH2)介导的疾病有关,因此TLR7激动剂在治疗这些疾病方面具有潜在的用途。我们现在发现了一系列咪唑吡啶酮,它们是TLR7的激动剂。因此,提供了式(I)的化合物或其药学上可接受的盐或溶剂,其中R1是3-至8-成员的饱和杂环基团,其中一个环成员为—O—;而R2是苯基或吡啶基,每个基团都可以选择性地被C1-C6烷基取代。
