Abstract
Introduction of an aromatic group into the fatty acyl chain of alpha-GalCer modulates the activity and selectivity of IFN-gamma/IL-4 secretion through CD1d-mediated activation of NKT cells. Compound 14-16 are more potent than alpha-Galcer and biased for IFN-gamma than for IL-4. These new glycolipids may find use as adjuvants or as antimetastatic agents.Entities:
