Malaria is a serious disease and is one of the most alarming public health issues. Plasmodium is being resistant to various antimalarials including Chloroquine (CQ) which was the first-line therapy for malaria treatment. WHO recommended several combination therapies but declining efficacy was reported to many of these therapies. Despite a great amount of research, efficient malaria vaccine still seems to be a distant dream. Immunochemotherapy could be an alternate strategy to deal with malaria. Based on the differential activity of various cytokines in the pathogenesis of and protection against malaria, the efficacy of highly active TLR7 agonistic imidazoquinoline (BBIQ) in combination with a suboptimal dose of CQ against P. berghei ANKA (PbA) in vivo was investigated. In mice treated with CQ alone, parasite appeared on Day 17 and all mice of this group died by Day 21. Whereas, mice treated with BBIQ along with CQ exhibited no appearance of parasite till Day 23. Frequencies of T cells (CD3+, CD4+and CD8+) and T regulatory cells (CD4+, CD25 +and FoxP3+) were found to be lower in brain of BBIQ + CQ treated mice as compared to BBIQ alone and CQ alone treated mice on Day 10. Inhibition of infiltration of inflammatory T cells and activation of T helper and T cytotoxic cells against the parasite was observed in the mice treated with this combination therapy. Serum levels of IFN-γ and IL-12 were found to be higher on same day in mice treated with BBIQ + CQ which revealed the generation of strong Th1 immune response in mice against the infection. Overall, TLR7 agonist acted as an efficient partner when combined with potent antimalarial drug.

Based on the quinazoline bearing EGFR inhibitors, a series of thirty four compounds having a quinoline scaffold were synthesised and evaluated in vitro for EGFR kinase inhibitory activity. A structure-activity relationship study revealed that 2,4-bis(arylamino) substituted quinolines possessed better anti-EGFR kinase activity. Compounds 3f and 3m emerged as potent EGFR kinase inhibitors (200 and 210 nM, respectively) and showed excellent anticancer activity at the micromolar level against a panel of cancer cell lines comparable to erlotinib. Furthermore, representative compounds inhibited the human topoisomerase IIα selectively and catalytically, did not intercalate with DNA, increased intracellular ROS concentration (except 3m) and altered the mitochondrial membrane potential of the cancer cells. Cell cycle analysis and annexin-V staining in a lung cancer cell line showed that the compounds delayed cell cycle progression by inducing cell cycle arrest and subsequent apoptosis at the G1 phase. The facts were further corroborated through molecular modeling studies.

Engagement of toll-like receptors serve to link innate immune responses with adaptive immunity and can be exploited as powerful vaccine adjuvants for eliciting both primary and anamnestic immune responses. TLR7 agonists are highly immunostimulatory without inducing dominant proinflammatory cytokine responses. A structure-activity study was conducted on the TLR7-agonistic imidazoquinolines, starting with 1-(4-amino-2-((ethylamino)methyl)-1H-imidazo[4, 5-c]quinolin-1-yl)-2-methylpropan-2-ol as a lead. Modifications of the secondary amine of the C2 ethylaminomethylene side chain are poorly tolerated. The 4-amino group must be retained for activity. Replacement of the imidazole ring of the scaffold with triazole or cyclic urea led to complete loss of activity. A systematic exploration of N1-benzyl-C2-alkyl substituents showed a very distinct relationship between alkyl length and TLR7-agonistic potency with the optimal compound bearing a C2-n-butyl group. Transposition of the N 1 and C2 substituents led to the identification of an extremely active TLR7-agonistic compound with an EC50 value of 8.6 nM. The relative potencies in human TLR7-based primary reporter gene assays were paralleled by interferon-α induction activities in whole human blood models.
