Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedicine, specifically to a class of small molecule compounds that can effectively inhibit the expression level of TLRs, their preparation methods, compositions, and uses in the preparation of drugs. Background Technology

[0002] The innate immune system is the host's first line of defense against invading pathogens, in which the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family plays a crucial role. TLRs are evolutionarily conserved type I transmembrane pattern recognition receptors that initiate immune responses by recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Their structure typically includes an extracellular leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain responsible for ligand recognition, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular Toll / interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) ​​domain responsible for downstream signal transduction. The number of TLR family members varies among species; for example, humans encode TLRs 1-10, while mice encode TLRs 1-9 and TLRs 11-13.

[0003] Based on their cellular localization and the type of ligand they recognize, TLRs can be divided into two categories: TLRs located on the cell membrane surface (such as TLR1, TLR2, TLR4, and TLR5) mainly recognize lipid and protein components; while TLRs located on the endosomal membrane (such as TLR3, TLR7, TLR8, and TLR9) mainly recognize nucleic acid molecules. TLR7 and TLR8 are important members of the endosomal TLR family, and they differ in their expression profiles: TLR7 is mainly expressed in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and B cells, while TLR8 is widely expressed in monocytes, macrophages, and myeloid dendritic cells. Together, they are responsible for recognizing viruses or abnormal single-stranded RNA (ssRNA). When ssRNA is endocytosed and enters the endosome, it binds to TLR7 / 8, leading to receptor dimerization and recruitment of the intracellular adaptor protein MyD88. This, in turn, activates the interferon regulatory factor (IRF) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathways, ultimately inducing the production of type I interferon (IFN) and other inflammatory cytokines, thereby exerting an antiviral defense effect.

[0004] However, abnormal or excessive activation of TLR7 / 8 signaling is closely associated with the development and progression of autoimmune diseases, particularly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE is a chronic, multi-organ systemic autoimmune disease characterized by the production of various autoantibodies and is prevalent in women of reproductive age. Studies have shown that TLR7 is one of the key drivers of SLE pathogenesis. TLR7 gene knockout can significantly reduce lupus-like symptoms in an SLE immune model. Currently, TLR7 has been identified as a key driver of lupus. Additionally, abnormal overexpression of TLR8 in normal C57BL / 6 mice may induce the disease.

[0005] Currently, first-line clinical treatment regimens for SLE mainly include hormones, hydroxychloroquine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and traditional immunosuppressants. In recent years, with a deeper understanding of the disease mechanisms, novel therapies such as B-cell-targeting biologics (e.g., belimumab, telitacicept), type I interferon receptor antagonists (e.g., aniluma), and C5 complement inhibitors (e.g., eculizumab) have been applied clinically, providing new options for SLE treatment. Nevertheless, biologic therapies have limitations, including limited applicability, insufficient response in some patients, and contraindications. Therefore, there is still an urgent clinical need for novel and effective treatments targeting different mechanisms of action.

[0006] Given the central role of the TLR7 / 8 signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of SLE, developing drugs that specifically inhibit this pathway has become a promising therapeutic strategy. Preliminary clinical studies have confirmed that dual TLR7 / 8 inhibitors have some efficacy in treating SLE. Therefore, the discovery and development of novel, highly effective, and selective TLR7 / 8 small molecule inhibitors, especially compounds that can simultaneously and effectively inhibit the activity of both TLR7 and TLR8, is of great significance for filling existing therapeutic gaps and providing new mechanisms of SLE therapy. Summary of the Invention

TM -TLR7 cell suspension. The test compounds were dispensed into 384-well plates using an Echo 650 Series acoustic pipetting workstation (Beckman Coulter). After 0.5 hours, the TLR7 / 8 agonist R848 (invivogen) was added to the wells using the Echo 650 Series acoustic pipetting workstation. The plates were incubated in a tissue culture incubator (ESCO) for 24 hours. 18 μL of prepared Quanti-Blue was added to each well of the new 384-well plate. TM Solution (InvivoGen). Transfer 2 μL of HEK-Blue. TM-hTLR7 cell supernatant to Quanti-Blue TM Incubate in solution at room temperature for 1-3 hours. Read data using a microplate reader (BMG), perform data analysis, curve fitting, and report the results.

[0256] Expressing human TLR8 HEK-Blue TM -hTLR8 cells (invivogen) were cultured in DMEM (Gibco) cell culture medium containing 10% FBS (Avantar) at 37°C with 5% CO2.

[0260] As shown in Table 1, some of the compounds provided by this invention exhibit significant inhibitory activity against TLR7 and / or TLR8. Among them, compounds I-1, I-7, I-8, I-10, I-12, I-20, I-23, I-26, and I-33 show superior inhibitory activity against TLR8 compared to Enpatoran. Furthermore, compounds I-7 and I-33 exhibit dual inhibitory activity against both TLR7 and TLR8, and are expected to become candidate drugs for the treatment of TLR7 / 8-mediated autoimmune diseases (such as systemic lupus erythematosus).

[0261] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments provided to fully illustrate the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims.
