Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for novel Toll-Like receptor modulators with preferred selectivity, higher potency, higher metabolic stability, and an improved safety profile for the treatment of viral infections and immune or inflammatory disorders, as existing compounds lack these characteristics.

Innovation Solution

Development of macrocyclic purine derivatives that modulate Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs), specifically compounds of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which are designed to enhance TLR modulation with improved pharmacokinetic properties and safety.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
