Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides highly active cyclic-di-nucleotide (CDN) immune stimulators that activate DCs via a recently discovered cytoplasmic receptor known as STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes). In particular, the CDNs of the present invention are provided in the form of a composition comprising one or more cyclic purine dinucleotides induce STING-dependent type I interferon production, wherein the cyclic purine dinucleotides present in the composition are substantially pure 2′,5′,2′,5′ and 2′,5′,3′,5′ CDNs, and preferably Rp,Rp stereoisomers thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A compound of the formula where R 1 and R 2 are each H, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 2. A pharmaceutical composition: a compound according to claim 1 formulated with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 3. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 2 , wherein the pharmaceutical acceptable carrier comprises one or more agents selected from the group consisting of lipids, interbilayer crosslinked multilamellar vesicles, biodegradeable poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) [PLGA]-based or poly anhydride-based nanoparticles or microparticles, and nanoporous particle-supported lipid bilayers. 4. A composition comprising: a compound according to claim 1 and one or more antigens selected for purposes of inducing an immune response against the antigen(s) when the composition is administered to an individual. 5. A method of inducing stimulator of interferon genes protein (STING)-dependent type I interferon production in an individual in need thereof, comprising: administering a compound according to claim 1 to the individual in an amount sufficient to induce STING-dependent type I interferon production. 6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the administration is directly into a tumor mass.
