%X The endosomal Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) recognizes single-stranded RNA and initiates early inflammatory responses. Despite the importance of endosomal TLRs for human host defense against microbial pathogens, extensive activation may contribute to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. In contrast to the recent progress made in the development of modulators of plasma membrane-bound TLRs, little is known about endosomal TLR modulation and very few TLR8 inhibitors have been reported. In this study, we discovered and validated novel small-molecule TLR8 inhibitors. Fourteen potential TLR8 modulators were experimentally validated in HEK293T cells stably overexpressing human TLR8 and THP-1 macrophages. Five compounds inhibited TLR8-mediated signaling, representing a hit rate of 36
