In anti-tumour therapy, the toll-like receptor 2/4 (TLR2/4) signalling pathway has been a double-edged sword. TLR2/4 agonists are commonly considered adjuvants for immune stimulation, whereas TLR2/4 antagonists demonstrate more feasibility for anti-tumour therapy under specific chronic inflammatory situations. In individuals with cancer retaliatory proliferation and metastasis after surgery, blocking the TLR2/4 signalling pathway may produce favourable prognosis for patients. Therefore, here, we developed a small-molecule co-inhibitor that targets the TLR2/4 signalling pathway. After high-throughput screening of a compound library containing 14 400 small molecules, followed by hit-to-lead structural optimisation, we finally obtained the compound TX-33, which has effective inhibitory properties against the TLR2/4 signalling pathways. This compound was found to significantly inhibit multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines released by RAW264.7 cells. This was followed by TX-33 demonstrating promising efficacy in subsequent anti-tumour experiments. The current results provide a novel understanding of the role of TLR2/4 in cancer and a novel strategy for anti-tumour therapy.
