A series of long-chain fatty acids and the corresponding 2-hydroxy, 2-oxo, 3-hydroxy acid glucosamides were evaluated as immunomodulating compounds. In a preliminary screening, 2-[(2-ethoxycarbonyloxy)tetradecanoylamino]-2-deoxy-D-glucos e (2b) and 2-(3-hydroxydodecanoylamino)-2-deoxy-D-glucose (5a) resulted to be the most effective in enhancing the glucosamine activity. The findings of in vitro-ex vivo tests (unidirectional mixed lymphocyte culture reaction and primary antibody production) and in vivo tests (delayed type hypersensitivity, protection against bacterial or fungal infection and against Sarcoma 180 or Lewis lung carcinoma transplants) were very encouraging and allowed to assume for the two substances a protective activity, presumably through the ability of activating phagocytic and NK cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D000276 Adjuvants, Immunologic Substances that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. The classical agents (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contain bacterial antigens. Some are endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Their mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of many biological response modifiers is related to their antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity.
