Quadrol and homologs and analogs thereof have been found to stimulate macrophage activity in warm blooded animals. As a consequence, these compounds may be used to combat bacterial infection, remove degenerated tissue, and promote new tissue growth. Quadrol or a homolog or analog thereof may be applied topically, e.g., as the active agent in a wound dressing. The active compounds may be represented by the formula (I)
wherein R₁ and R₂ are substituted alkyl (C₂-C₆) in which the substituents include one or more hydroxyl groups attached to carbon atoms other than the alpha carbon atom, R₃ and R₄ are alkyl or substituted alkyl (C₁-C₆), and n=2 to about 6. Preferably R₁ through R₄ are the same and are 2-hydroxyalkyl.
研究发现,Quadrol 及其同源物和类似物可刺激温血动物体内巨噬细胞的活性。因此,这些化合物可用于对抗细菌感染、清除退化组织和促进新组织生长。Quadrol 或其同源物或类似物可局部使用,例如作为伤口敷料中的活性剂。活性化合物可由式 (I) 表示
其中 R₁ 和 R₂ 是取代的烷基 (C₂-C₆),其中取代基包括一个或多个连接到除α 碳原子以外的碳原子上的羟基,R₃ 和 R₄ 是烷基或取代的烷基 (C₁-C₆),且 n=2 至约 6。R₁ 至 R₄ 最好是相同的 2-羟基烷基。
