FP-20, sodium salt
sodium (2R,3S,4R,5R,6S)-5-dodecanamido-4,6-bis(dodecanoyloxy)-2-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl phosphate
Sodium (2R,3S,4R,5R,6S)-5-dodecanamido-4,6-bis(dodecanoyloxy)-2-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl phosphate, or FP-20, sodium salt is a synthetic adjuvant and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) agonist designed to improve immune responses in vaccine formulations. It features a glucosamine monosaccharide core with three C12 fatty acid chains and a phosphate group.
FP-20, sodium salt is engineered to stimulate innate immunity that leads to robust adaptive immune activation. FP-20’s potent immunostimulatory properties make it a promising candidate for next-generation vaccine adjuvant systems.
Application
Research involving FP-20 shows potential for increasing vaccine efficacy by improving cancer immunotherapy and improving the immune system’s response to tumor-associated antigens.
Additionally, researchers are exploring FP-20’s role in vaccines that target infectious diseases, including the flu, HIV, and tuberculosis. Its powerful ability to trigger strong immune responses shows potential for improving vaccine effectiveness across various pathogens.
Another notable characteristic of FP-20 is its ability to be used alongside other adjuvants, such as QS-21, to create immune-enhancing effects and boost vaccine performance further.
Packaging
