APPLICATION 0001. This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Application No. 60/413,848, filed Sep. 26, 2002. 0007. It has now been found that certain 1H-imidazo dimer compounds induce cytokine biosynthesis. In one FIELD OF THE INVENTION aspect, the present invention provides 1H-imidazo dimer 0002 The present invention relates to 1H-imidazo dimers compounds of the Formula (I): and to pharmaceutical compositions containing Such dimerS. In addition this invention relates to the use of these dimers as immunomodulators, for inducing cytokine biosynthesis in (I) animals, and in the treatment of diseases, including viral and NH2 NH2 neoplastic diseases. This invention further provides methods of making the dimerS and intermediates used in their Syn N N N N NN thesis.

Sible use as an antimalarial agent. Subsequently, Syntheses of various Substituted 1H-imidazo[4,5-cquinolines were 0009. The compounds of Formula I are useful as immune reported. For example, Jain et al., J. Med. Chem. 11, pp. response modifiers (IRMs) due to their ability to induce 87-92 (1968), Synthesized the compound 1-2-(4-piperidyl cytokine biosynthesis (e.g., induce the biosynthesis or pro )ethyl)-1H-imidazo4.5-cquinoline as a possible anticon duction of one or more cytokines) and otherwise modulate Vulsant and cardiovascular agent. Also, Baron et al., Chem. the immune response when administered to animals. This AS. 85,94362 (1976), have reported several 2-oxoimidazo 4.5-cquinolines, and Berenyi et al., J. Heterocyclic Chem. makes the compounds useful in the treatment of a variety of 18, 1537-1540 (1981), have reported certain 2-oxoimidazo conditions Such as Viral diseases, and neoplastic diseases, 4.5-cquinolines. that are responsive to Such changes in the immune response. 0004 Certain 1H-imidazo[4,5-cquinolin-4-amines and 0010.
