Lipidic Aminoglycoside Derivatives: A New Class of Immunomodulators Inducing a Potent Innate Immune Stimulation

Abstract: Development of simple and fully characterized immunomodulatory molecules is an active area of research to enhance current immunotherapies. Monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL), a nontoxic lipidic derivative from bacteria, is the first and currently only adjuvant approved in humans. However, its capacity to induce a potent response against weak immunogenic tumoral‐associated antigens remains limited. Herein, a new generation of lipidic immunomodulators to conduct a structure–activity relationship study to determine the minimal structural elements conferring immunomodulatory properties is introduced. Two lead molecules characterized by a short succinyl linker between two oleyl chains and a polar headgroup consisting of either naturally occurring tobramycin (DOST) or kanamycin (DOSK) are identified. These two lipoaminoglycosides self‐assemble in very small vesicles. In a wide variety of cells including 3D human cell culture, DOST and DOSK induce the upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines and interferon‐inducible proteins in a dose and time‐dependent manner via a caveolae‐dependent proinflammatory mechanism and phosphatidylinositol phospholipase C activation. Furthermore, after intratumoral administration, these lipoaminoglycosides induce an efficient immune response leading to significant antitumor activity in a mouse breast cancer model. Altogether, these findings indicate that DOST and DOSK are two groundbreaking synthetic lipid immunostimulators that can be used as adjuvants to enhance current immunotherapeutic treatments.
