Synthetic organic
Comment: CRX-555 is a synthetic Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) partial agonist from the Corixa Corporation [9]. It is one of a series of lipid A mimetic aminoalkyl glucosaminide phosphate compounds that were synthesised with different length secondary acyl chains. CRX-555 has 8 carbon atoms in each of its 3 secondary acyl chains. The chemical structures for aminoalkyl glucosaminide phosphate lipid A mimetics including CRX-555 were originally claimed in patent US6303347B1 (now expired) TLR4 as potential adjuvants and immunoeffectors [8]. A later patent (WO2008128997A1 [4]) claims these compounds for prophylactic and therapeutic applications in autoimmune diseases. The partial agonist effect of CRX-555 was demonstrated in HeLa cells transfected with TLR4/MD-2/CD14 and an IL-8 luciferase promoter construct. While CRX-527 gave a maximum stimulation of almost 60-fold (at 10μg/ml), the maximum stimulation by CRX-555 at this concentration was only ~25-fold [9].

| Bioactivity Comments |
| CRX-555 and other aminoalkyl glucosaminide phosphate compounds from the series with ≤9-carbon secondary acyl chains do not elicit TNFα production from human monocyte-derived macrophages, but it does induce transcriptional activation of eight genes on a custom microarray of ~300 inflammatory target genes [9]. In contrast, CRX-527 which has 10-carbon secondary acyl chains potently activates TNFα production and transcriptional responses (68 genes) in the same assays. |
