The present invention provides a broad-spectrum, long-lasting, and non-toxic combination of synthetic immunostimulatory agents, which are useful for activating the immune system of a mammal and treating diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disease. These agents include TLR-ligands and ligand analogs which induce interferon production, in combination with inhibitors of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), that further enhance the induction of interferon production.

Novel analogues of the naturally occurring purine nucleosides were synthesized in the thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine ring system to determine the immunomodulatory effects of insertion of a sulfur atom in place of nitrogen at position 7 of the purine ring. In particular, 5-amino-3-β-D-ribofuranosylthiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,7(3H,6H)-dione (7, guanosine analogue), 3-β-D-ribofuranosylthiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,5,7(3H,4H,6H)-trione (8, xanthosine analogue), 3-β-D-ribofuranosylthiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,7(3H,6H)-dione (10, inosine analogue), and 7-amino-3-β-D-ribofuranosylthiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2(3H)-one (32, adenosine analogue) were prepared, as well as the 8-mercaptoguanosine (14) and 6-mercaptoguanosine (17) analogues. Single-crystal X-ray studies confirmed the structural assignment of 17 and 32 as having the β-configuration with the site of glycosylation at N3. The nucleosides were evaluated for their ability to potentiate various murine immune functions in direct comparison to the known active agents 8-bromoguanosine (1), 8-mercaptoguanosine (2), and 7-methyl-8-oxoguanosine (3). Two of the guanosine analogues, 7 and 14, were found to exhibit significant immunoactivity relative to the positive control compounds (1-3), while the adenosine, inosine, xanthosine, and 6-mercaptoguanosine analogues were devoid of activity. Compound 7 exhibited greater immunoreactivity than any of the other guanosine analogues and derivatives in all test systems. Specifically, 7 was shown to be about twice as potent as 3 in the murine spleen cell mitogenicity assay. In addition, treatment with 7 produced about a 4-fold increase in natural killer cell cytotoxicity, while treatment with 3 afforded a 3-fold increase over controls. Finally, 7 provided excellent protection (92% survivors compared to 0% for placebo controls) against Semliki Forest virus in mice. Induction of interferon may account for the major mode of action of these guanosine analogues.
