In one aspect, the cation No. 60/413,848, filed Sep. 26, 2002. present invention provides 1H-imidazo dimer compounds of the Formula (I): FIELD OF THE INVENTION (I) The present invention relates to 1H-imidazo dimers 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 N1 N N N NN animals, and in the treatment of diseases, including viral and 15 Y-R, R-( neoplastic diseases. This invention further provides methods ul-I-' (-ll. of making the dimerS and intermediates used in their Syn thesis. R4 Nu/A. R4 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The first reliable report on the 1H-imidazo[4,5-c quinoline ring System, Bachman et al., J. Org. Chem. 15, 1278-1284 (1950) describes the synthesis of 1-(6-methoxy wherein A, R, R and R are as defined herein. 8-quinolinyl)-2-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-cquinoline for 25 possible use as an antimalarial agent. Subsequently, Synthe The compounds of Formula I are useful as immune ses of various Substituted 1H-imidazo4.5-cquinolines were response modifiers (IRMs) due to their ability to induce reported. For example, Jain et al., J. Med. Chem. 11, pp. cytokine biosynthesis (e.g., induce the biosynthesis or pro 87-92 (1968), synthesized the compound 1-2-(4-piperidyl) duction of one or more cytokines) and otherwise modulate ethyl)-1H-imidazo4.5-cquinoline as a possible anticonvul the immune response when administered to animals. This Sant and cardiovascular agent. Also, Baranov et al., Chem. makes the compounds useful in the treatment of a variety of Abs. 85,94362 (1976), have reported several 2-oxoimidazo conditions Such as Viral diseases, and neoplastic diseases, 4.5-cquinolines, and Berenyi et al., J. Heterocyclic Chem. that are responsive to Such changes in the immune response. 18, 1537-1540 (1981), have reported certain 2-oxoimidazo 4.5-cquinolines. 35 Certain 1H-imidazo4.5-cquinolin-4-amines and 1- and In another aspect, the present invention provides pharma 2-substituted derivatives thereof were later found to be ceutical compositions containing the immune response useful as antiviral agents, bronchodilators and immuno modifier compounds, and methods of inducing cytokine modulators.
