We synthesized ten new analogs of 6'-modified KRN7000 (A): RCAI-58, 61, 64, 83, 85-87, 113, 119, and 125. They could be synthesized by alpha-selective galactosylation of ceramide 9 with the 6-modified D-galactopyranosyl fluorides (8a-8f) or L-arabinopyranosyl fluoride (17), or by etherification of the known alcohol 19. Bioassay of the ten analogs demonstrated that RCAI-61 (1, 6'-O-methylated analog of A) was the most potent immunostimulant among them, and could induce the production of a large amount of IFN-gamma even at a low concentration in mice in vivo.
