Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A diprovocim compound that corresponds in structure to structural Formula V is disclosed, wherein A, W, Z, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 (when present) are defined within. A diprovocim compound has immune-adjuvant properties on human and mouse cells in culture and on in vivo immunization of mice. A composition containing a diprovocim and a method of using a compound are also disclosed. The immunostimulatory activity of a diprovocim compound is similar to that of LPS, to which there is no apparent structural similarity. A contemplated compound bears no structural similarity to either the TLR1/TLR2 lipoprotein agonists nor to any other synthetic TLR agonist, and is remarkably easy to prepare and synthetically modify.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A compound of Formula V, wherein -A is —H (hydrido) or —C(O)NH-R 4 ; R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are the same or different and are a 2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl, a trans-2-phenylcyclopropyl, a trans-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-cyclopropyl or a C 3 -C 18 hydrocarbyl group with the provisos that: 1) at least two of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 (R 1-4 ) or a…
