Enpatoran

**Semantic type:** Pharmacologic Substance

**Definition:** An orally bioavailable toll-like receptor type 7 and 8 (TLR 7/8) dual antagonist, with potential anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating activities. Upon oral administration, enpatoran binds to and inhibits the activity of TLR7 and 8, thereby inhibiting TLR7/8-mediated pathways. This may inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and block the activation of immune responses. TLR7 and 8, members of the TLR family, play fundamental roles in the activation of the innate immune system, myeloid cell responses and tumor antigen presentation.
