TLR4, a member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family, serves as a pattern recognition receptor in the innate immune response to microbial pathogens. TLR4 also regulates the inflammatory reaction to ischemic injury in the heart. The TRIF-related adaptor molecule (TRAM) is an adapter that recruits the Toll/interleukin 1 receptor (TIR) domain, which contains adapter-inducing IFN-β (TRIF), to activate TLR4, following TRIF-dependent cytokine gene transcription. On the basis of a known TRAM-derived decoy peptide, 10 of its peptidomimetics were synthesized. One of them, 1-benzyl-5-methyl-4-(n-octylamino)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one (21), exhibited high potency and efficacy in vitro. In vitro results and in silico analysis provided evidence for the possible direct interaction of 21 with the TLR4 complex. Administered in mice, 21 was able to block the pathophysiological manifestation of MI, restoring the concomitant tissue damage, with a 100% survival rate. Thus, inhibition of TLR4-mediated inflammation in postischemic myocardium could be used as an approach for developing cardioprotective drugs.

The lithium salts of the conjugated bases of 4-methoxy- and 4-acetylamino-2(1H)-pyrimidinones 1-3 undergo highly chemoselective N1-methylation or ethylation when treated with methyl- or ethylsulfate (hard electrophiles) in dry dioxane, while the use of DMF as solvent results in competitive O2-alkylation. Potassium salts of the same bases in DMF undergo prevalent O2-attack. Under the same conditions, a similar but less chemoselective behaviour is observed in alkylation of thymine and uracil, where some N3-attack occurs. This can be rationalised in terms of the HSAB principle.
