Aminoalkyl glucosaminide phosphate (AGP) compounds that are adjuvants and
immunoeffectors are described and claimed. The compounds have a
2-deoxy-2-amino glucose in glycosidic linkage with an aminoalkyl
(aglycon) group. Compounds are phosphorylated at the 4 or 6 carbon on the
glucosaminide ring and comprise three 3-alkanoyloxyalkanoyl residues. The
compounds augment antibody production in immunized animals as well as
stimulate cytokine production and activate macrophages. Compositions and
methods for using the compounds as adjuvants and immunoeffectors are also
disclosed.
