A series of N1-modified imidazoquinolines were synthesized and screened for Toll-like receptors (TLR) 7 and 8 activities to identify recognition elements that confer high affinity binding and selectivity. These receptors are key targets in the development of immunomodulatory agents that signal the NF-κB mediated transcription of pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines. Results are presented showing both TLR7/8 activations are highly correlated to N1-substitution, with TLR8 selectivity achieved through inclusion of an ethyl-, propyl-, or butylamino group at this position. While the structure-activity relationship analysis indicates TLR7 activity is less sensitive to N1-modification, extension of the aminoalkyl chain length to pentyl and p-methylbenzyl elicited high affinity TLR7 binding. Cytokine profiles are also reported that show the pure TLR8 agonist [4-amino-2-butyl-1-(2-aminoethyl)-7-methoxycarbonyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline] induces higher levels of IL-1β, IL-12, and IFNγ when compared with TLR7 selective or mixed TLR7/8 agonists. The results are consistent with previous work suggesting TLR8 agonists are Th1 polarizing and may help promote cell-mediated immunity.

Schistosomiasis is a major neglected parasitic disease that affects more than 265 million people worldwide and for which the control strategy consists of mass treatment with the only available drug, praziquantel. In this study, a series of new benzohydroxamates were prepared as potent inhibitors of Schistosoma mansoni histone deacetylase 8 (smHDAC8). Crystallographic analysis provided insights into the inhibition mode of smHDAC8 activity by these 3-amidobenzohydroxamates. The newly designed inhibitors were evaluated in screens for enzyme inhibitory activity against schistosome and human HDACs. Twenty-seven compounds were found to be active in the nanomolar range, and some of them showed selectivity toward smHDAC8 over the major human HDACs (1 and 6). The active benzohydroxamates were additionally screened for lethality against the schistosome larval stage using a fluorescence-based assay. Four of these showed significant dose-dependent killing of the schistosome larvae and markedly impaired egg laying of adult worm pairs maintained in culture.
