The present invention is directed in particular to dipeptide-like compounds derived from functionally substituted amino acids, having fatty acid chains bound thereto through amidification of the amine functional groups of said dipeptide-like compounds, one end portion of which bears an accessory functional side chain spacer, with the other end portion being an acid group either in neutral or charged state. Compounds of the present invention have immunomodulating properties like adjuvants, In addition, compounds of the invention can be grafted on a given antigen in order to modulate or tune the immune response or can be equally grafted on a pharmaceutical carrier to enhance the therapeutic effect or targetting thereof. Accordingly, compounds of the invention find use in human and veterinary medicine both as immunogens and diagnostic tools.
该发明特别涉及类二肽样化合物,这些化合物源自功能性取代的氨基酸,通过酰胺化作用将脂肪酸链结合到所述类二肽样化合物的氨基官能团上,其中一端部分带有辅助功能侧链间隔物,另一端部分是酸基,可以是中性或带电状态。该发明的化合物具有类似佐剂的免疫调节特性。此外,该发明的化合物可以嫁接到给定抗原上,以调节或调整免疫反应,也可以嫁接到药物载体上,以增强治疗效果或靶向效果。因此,该发明的化合物在人类和兽医医学中均可用作免疫原和诊断工具。
