Structure-Based Design of 2-(Pyridone)Indoles as Antagonists of the Toll-Like Receptors TLR7 and TLR8 for the Treatment of Autoimmune Disorders

Abstract Toll-like receptors 7 and 8 (TLR7/8) are innate immune sensors whose activation by endogenous RNA ligands is a hallmark of chronic autoimmune disorders, notably cutaneous and systemic lupus. We present the structure-based design and optimization of 2-(pyridin-2(1H)-one)i...
