diprovocim 1

Diprovocim-1 is an agonist of the toll-like receptor 1/2 heterodimer.1It induces TNF-α release in THP-1 cells (EC50= 110 pM), an effect that can be inhibited by anti-TLR1 or anti-TLR2 antibodies. Diprovocim-1 (10 mg/kg) increases the production of ovalbumin-specific IgG1 in wild-type, but notTLR2-/-, mice sensitized to ovalbumin.2It also enhances anti-PD-L1 antibody-induced activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes, reduction of tumor growth, and increases in survival in a B16/F10 murine melanoma model. 1.Morin, M.D., Wang, Y., Jones, B.T., et al.Diprovocims: A new and exceptionally potent class of toll-like receptor agonistsJ.

Diprovocim-X (compound 35), a robust TLR1/TLR2 (toll-like receptor 1/2) agonist, exhibits EC 50 values of 0.14 nM for hTLR1/TLR2 and 0.75 nM for mTLR1/TLR2. As a potent in vivo adjuvant in mice, it effectively stimulates the adaptive immune response [1].
