α-Glucosyl FP20
6-O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-1β,2N,3-tridodecanoyl-D-glucosamine-4-phosphate, sodium salt
Introducing α‑Glucosyl FP-20 from Avanti Research™—an advanced, glycan‑modified FP‑20 sodium salt analog vaccine adjuvant compound.
α‑Glucosyl FP-20 refines immunotherapeutic agents' potency and selectivity of human Toll‑like receptor 4 (hTLR4), activating MyD88- and TRIF-mediated signals, inducing cytokine (e.g., IL‑6, TNF‑α) and type I interferon secretion, and promoting effective, balanced immune activation.
This compound functionalizes the C6 position of FP-20 sodium salt's glucosamine core with a glucose moiety while preserving a vastly scalable, reproducible, and streamlined synthetic composition.
Application
α‑Glucosyl FP-20 has various immunological research applications:
Driving antigen-specific T-cell reactions while maintaining low toxicity for immuno-oncology.
Boosting humoral and cellular immune response durability for infectious disease vaccine formulation.
Supporting receptor targeting and modulation for immunomechanistic research analyzing broad and species-specific glycan–TLR.
Enhancing safety and effectiveness of multi-adjuvant strategies that facilitate α‑Glucosyl FP-20’s synergy with agents like QS‑21.
In HEK‑Blue cell assays and macrophage polarization models, glycosylated FP‑20 derivatives’ potency demonstrably outperforms the parent FP‑20 in hTLR4 activation, thanks to their improved MD‑2 binding affinity and molecular recognition.
Recent studies show glyco‑FP‑20 derivatives triggering two crucial immune activation pathways: M1 macrophage polarization (via NF‑κB) and potent inflammasome-associated pyroptosis (RSC Publishing).
Packaging
We offer α‑Glucosyl FP-20 in 5 mg powder packaging for research applications only. It is synthesized in controlled conditions, guaranteeing high purity for every order. To request bulk pricing or sub-licensing for α‑Glucosyl FP-20, please email us at customerservice@avantilipids.com.
