  • Publication number: 20220226281
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the reversal of T cell exhaustion using aplysiatoxin analogs or PKC theta agonist compounds for anti-cancer immunotherapy. The treatment with aplysiatoxin analogs or PKC theta agonist compounds improve the anti-tumour activity of a T cell, inducing a NFAT-dependent T cell activation, increasing the pool of immune-checkpoint inhibitor responsive T cells, increasing lymphocyte infiltration and increasing the population of activated CD4+ and/or CD8+ cells. The methods of the present disclosure provide treatment of tumors and infections.
