Abstract

Human toll-like receptor (hTLR)-8 is expressed in myeloid dendritic cells, monocytes, and monocytederived dendritic cells. Engagement by TLR8 agonists evokes a distinct cytokine profile which favors the development of type 1 helper T cells. Focused exploration of structure-activity relationships in the imidazoquinolines has led to the identification of several novel human TLR8-specific agonists. The synthetic procedures for best-in-class analogues encompassing four chemotypes are described.
