Endosomal toll-like receptors (TLRs) 7 and 8 recognize viral single-stranded RNAs, a class of imidazoquinoline compounds, 8-oxo-adenosines, 8-aminobenzodiazepines, pyrimidines, and guanosine analogues. Substantial evidence is present linking chronic inflammation mediated specifically by TLR7 to the progression of autoimmunity. We identified a new TLR7/8 dual inhibitor (1) and a TLR8-specific inhibitor (2) based on our previous screen targeting TLR8. Compound 1, bearing a benzanilide scaffold, was found to inhibit TLR7 and TLR8 at low micromolar concentrations. We envisioned making modifications on the benzanilide scaffold of 1 resulting in a class of highly specific TLR7 inhibitors. Our efforts led to the discovery of a new TLR8 inhibitor (CU-115) and identification of a TLR7/8 dual inhibitor (CU-72), bearing a distinct diphenyl ether skeleton, with potential for TLR7 selectivity optimization. Given the role of TLR8 in autoimmunity, we also optimized the potency of 2 and developed a new TLR8 inhibitor bearing a 1,3,4-oxadiazole motif.

(4RS)-1-(5-Cyclopropyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-12,12a-dihydroimidazopyrroloquinoxalin-10(11H)-one (1a), 5-benzoyl-3-(5-cyclopropyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-4,5-dihydroimidazoquinoxaline (13b), and tert-butyl (4S)-12,12a-dihydroimidazopyrroloquinoxaline-1-carboxylate (1e), as well as other imidazoquinoxaline amides and carbamates, represent a new series of compounds which bind with high affinity to the GABAA/benzodiazepine receptor.These compound exhibit a wide range of intrinsic efficacies as measured by TBPS binding ratios.The synthesis of 1a begins with the addition of DL-glutamic acid to 1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene, followed by reduction of the nitro group and subsequent ring closure to form 3-(carbethoxymethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxalin-2-one, followed by a second ring closure to afford (4RS)-1,5-dioxo-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydropyrroloquinoxaline as the key intermediate.Appendage of a substituted imidazo ring via the anion of 5-cyclopropyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl gives 1a.The (-) and (+)-isomers of 1a were prepared from 1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene and L- and D-glutamic acid, respectively. 1a and its enantiomers demonstrated affinity for flunitrazepam binding site with Ki's of 0.87, 0.62, and 0.65 nM, respectively.
