A series of truncated analogs of alpha-galactosylceramide with altered ceramide moiety was prepared, and evaluated for Th2-biased response in the context of IL-4/IFN-gamma ratio. Phytosphingosine-modified analogs including cyclic, aromatic and ethereal compounds as well as the C-glycoside analog of OCH (2) with their cytokine inducing profile are disclosed.
