The invention provides a compound of Formula I
wherein
R1, R4 and R5 are each independently selected from hydrogen, acetyl, hydrocarbyl;
R2 is a hydrocarbyl, a lipid moiety, a lipid acyl moiety; or an amino hydrocarbyl group optionally substituted with a hydrocarbyl, a lipid moiety or a lipid acyl moiety;
R8 is acetyl;
X is a peptide chain;
wherein hydrocarbyl is preferably acyl or alkyl,
which can act as an adjuvant.
The above normuramylglycopeptide compounds can be located in liposomes and micelles and can function as immunomodulators, along with a desired antigen or DNA encoding the antigen, in vaccines, e.g., DNA vaccines.
