  • Patent number: 12661397
    Abstract: Provided is an adjuvant composition comprising a glycoarchaeol and at least one immunostimulant selected from a Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonist and a saponin. The glycoarchaeol and/or immunostimulant may be present as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. The adjuvant composition may be comprised together with an antigen in an immunogenic composition, such as a vaccine composition, which may be for use to induce an immune response in a subject. Further provided is use of the immunogenic composition to induce an immune response in a subject, particularly an immune response that comprises both a cell-mediated response and a humoral response.

  • Publication number: 20250084116
    Abstract: A composition comprising a mixture of two or more stereoisomers of a synthetic charged isoprenoid glycolipid of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in which n is 0 or 1, R and R? are independently hydrogen or hydroxyl, each Y is independently hydrogen or a sulfate group, and wherein at least one Y is a sulfate group, and less than 25% of the synthetic charged isoprenoid glycolipid molecules in the mixture comprise an archaeol moiety of the configuration (R)-2,3-bis(((3R,7R,11R)-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadecyl)oxy) propan-1-ol. Further provided are archaeosomes and immunogenic compositions comprising the composition, use of the composition as an adjuvant or immunostimulant, and processes for synthesizing the composition.
