- Process for the preparation of imidazo[4,5-c]-quinolin-4-amines
-
The present invention is a method for preparing a compound of the formula wherein R is hydrogen, C1 to C6 alkyl, C1 to C6 alkoxy or halo, R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen, C1 to C10 alkyl, C1 to C10 alkoxy, C3 to C10 cycloalkyl, C3 to C10 alkenyl, C5 to C10 cycloalkenyl, C2 to C10 alkynyl, C6 to C20 aryl or substituted C6 to C20 aryl and n is the integer 1 or 2 by reacting the corresponding N-oxide with an aqueous solution of ammonia and a C1 to C6 alkyl, C6 to C20 aryl or substituted C6 to C20 aryl chloroformate thereby forming said compound formula (1).

- A PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF 4-AMINO-1-ISOBUTYL-1H-IMIDAZO[4,5-C]-QUINOLINE (IMIQUIMOD)
-
A process for preparation of imiquimod comprising oxidation of 1-Isobutyl-1H-imidazo quinoline quinoline (II) afforded 1-Isobutyl-lH- imidazo-[4,5-c]-quinoline-5-N-oxide (III) which is isolated in pure form as its hydrochloride salt (IV) followed by conversion to 4-chloro derivative(V) and conversion to corresponding 4-iodo derivative (VI) which is a new intermediate. This new intermediate is convened to imiquimod (VIII) and purified via its novel maleate salt.

- Synthesis and structure - Activity-relationships of 1H-imidazo[4,5-c] quinolines that induce interferon production
-
1H-Imidazo-[4,5-c]quinolines were prepared while investigating novel nucleoside analogues as potential antiviral agents. While these compounds showed no direct antiviral activity when tested in a number of cell culture systems, some demonstrated potent inhibition of virus lesion development in an intravaginal guinea pig herpes simplex virus-2 assay. We have determined that the in vivo antiviral activity can be attributed to the ability of these molecules to induce the production of cytokines, especially interferon (IFN), in this model. Subsequently, we found that the compounds also induce in vitro production of IFN in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs). The in vitro results reported herein and the in vivo results reported previously led to the discovery of imiquimod, 26, which was developed as a topical agent and has been approved for the treatment of genital warts, actinic keratosis, and superficial basal cell carcinoma.
