The invention relates to lipopeptides of the formula I, ##STR1## in which each of R.sub.a.sup.1 and R.sub.b.sup.1, independently of the other, represents an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic-aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from 7 to 21 carbon atoms that is optionally substituted by oxygen functions, or one of the radicals R.sub.a.sup.1 --CO-- and R.sub.b.sup.1 --CO-- represents hydrogen and the other of the radicals R.sub.a.sup.1 --CO-- and R.sub.b.sup.1 --CO-- represents an acyl radical, wherein R.sub.a.sup.1 and R.sub.b.sup.1 have the meanings given above, R.sup.2 represents an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic-aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 21 carbon atoms that is optionally substituted by oxygen functions, n=0 or 1, As.degree. represents a radical of the formula --O--Kw--CO-- or --NH--Kw--CO-- wherein Kw represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having a maximum of 12 carbon atoms, As.sup.1 represents a D- or L-.alpha.-amino acid, each of Z.sup.1 and Z.sup.2, independently of the other, represents hydroxy or the N-terminal radical of a D- or L-.alpha.-aminocarboxylic acid, of an amino-lower alkanesulphonic acid or of a peptide having a maximum of 6 amino acids from the group consisting of D- or L-.alpha.-aminocarboxylic acids and amino-lower alkanesulphonic acids, and Z.sup.3 represents hydrogen or --CO--Z.sup.4 wherein Z.sup.4 represents hydroxy or the N-terminal radical of a D- or L-.alpha.-amino acid, of an amino-lower alkanesulphonic acid or of a peptide having a maximum of 6 amino acids from the group consisting of D- or L-.alpha.-aminocarboxylic acids and amino-lower alkanesulphonic acids, and the amides and esters of such compounds that contain carboxy groups. The novel lipopeptides have an immunity-stimulating action.
