摘要:
Lipid A analogues containing a glucose moiety on their non-reducing end were synthesized, and their LPS-antagonistic activities were measured. The inhibitory activities (IC50) on LPS-induced TNF alpha production of these six compounds, 26, 33, 440, 520, 59, and 61, toward human whole blood cells were 0.49, 0.65, 0.51, 0.98, 0.46, and 1.11 nM, respectively. Inhibitory doses (ID50) of compounds 26, 33, 440, 59, and 61 on TNF alpha production induced by coinjection of galactosamine and LPS in C3HMeN mice were measured. The ID50 values of these compounds were 0.45, 0.96, < 0.2, 1.08, and < 0.2 mg/kg, respectively. Moreover, C3H/HeN mice preinjected with compounds 26, 33, and 440 were protected from lethality induced by coinjection of galactosamine and LPS. Out of eight mice preinjected with 1 mg/kg of compounds 26, 33, and 440, five, eight and six mice were protected, respectively. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
