In general formula (1), L1 is a direct bond or an aromatic group with a valence of 1-3 and Ar1 is an aromatic group. The two Ar1 groups linked to the same nitrogen atom may form a nitrogen heterocycle and may further form a fused ring together with the said nitrogen heterocycle.

Abstract: A lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and/or lipid A binding agent is provided. The LPS and/or lipid A binding agent contains an LPS and/or lipid A binding peptide, such as a peptide comprising an amino acid sequence of XYSSS (X=K, R, or H), or a derivative thereof, as an active ingredient. The LPS and/or lipid A binding agent is useful as, for example, an LPS and/or lipid A neutralizing agent or an LPS and/or lipid A removing agent.
