Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g.)-induced TNF-α can be affected by muramyl dipeptide (MDP) in a biphasic concentration-dependent manner. We found that in P.g.-exposed macrophages, treatment with 10 μg/mL of MDP (MDP-low) up-regulated TNF-α by 29%, while 100

N-Acetylnormuramoyl-L-2-aminobutanoyl-D-isoglutamine (7) and its lipophilic 6-O-octadecanoyl (8) and 6-O-(2-tetradecylhexadecanoyl) (9) derivatives were prepared and their immunoadjuvant activity and pyrogenicity were tested. Compounds 8 and 9 are less pyrogenic than muramoyl-dipeptide (MDP) and norMDP analog 7. Both lipophilic derivatives 8 and 9 are better adjuvants than MDP in cell mediated immunity.
