Synthesis and Structure−Activity-Relationships of 1H-Imidazo[4,5-c]quinolines That Induce Interferon Production
摘要:
1H-Imidazo-[4,5-c]quinolines were prepared while investigating novel nucleoside analogues as potential antiviral agents. While these compounds showed no direct antiviral activity when tested in a number of cell culture systems, some demonstrated potent inhibition of virus lesion development in an intravaginal guinea pig herpes simplex virus-2 assay. We have determined that the in vivo antiviral activity can be attributed to the ability of these molecules to induce the production of cytokines, especially interferon (IFN), in this model. Subsequently, we found that the compounds also induce in vitro production of IFN in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs). The in vitro results reported herein and the in vivo results reported previously led to the discovery of imiquimod, 26, which was developed as a topical agent and has been approved for the treatment of genital warts, actinic keratosis, and superficial basal cell carcinoma.

The present invention relates in general to the field of modulators of the innate immune system, particularly to pharmaceutical compositions comprising imidazoquinolin(amines) and derivatives thereof, preferably suitable for local administration, such as, intravesical administration. In addition, the present invention concerns the use of imidazoquinolin(amines) and derivatives thereof for intravesical treatment of bladder diseases, such as, for example, bladder cancer and cystitis. The present invention furthermore comprises methods of treatment for these diseases as well as methods of administration of the inventive pharmaceutical compositions.
