α-Galactosyl FP20
6-O-α-D-Galactopyranosyl-1β,2N,3-tridodecanoyl-D-glucosamine-4-phosphate, sodium salt
α-Galactosyl FP-20 is a glycosylated fusion peptide (FP) adjuvant that targets human Toll-like receptor 4 (hTLR4) to activate intracellular signaling pathways. With this compound's inclusion of an α-galactose group, this structural analog of FP‑20 sodium salt has enhanced immunomodulatory specificity and receptor targeting precision.
Engineered for reliable, large-scale synthesis, α-Galactosyl FP-20 is optimal for innovative vaccine adjuvant research studies, especially those that require accurate, efficacious hTLR4 targeting and fine-tuned immune responses.
Application
α-Galactosyl FP-20 demonstrates potential in boosting both humoral and cellular immune responses, which makes it a promising adjuvant for immunological treatments that require TLR4 activation, such as those for autoimmunity and allergies, cancer, and infectious diseases.
This compound also draws interest from researchers in carbohydrate-driven receptor activation, who are reviewing its potential in glycolipid-based immunity modulation.
As shown by in vitro and in vivo studies, α-Galactosyl FP-20 differs from traditional lipid A or LPS-based TLR4 agonists due to its minimal systemic toxicity and robust cytokine induction capacity (e.g., IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-β).
Key Features
Lab-synthesized glycolipid adjuvant for activating hTLR4
Precise, safe, and scalable by design
Innate and adaptive immunity enhancing
Non-toxic profile as shown by preclinical studies
