Claims6
A method of enhancing, stimulating, and/or increasing an immune response in a subject in need thereof, said method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I)
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein:
- A is
- wherein:
- denotes the point of attachment to the carbonyl group and denotes the point of attachment to the nitrogen atom;
- m is 1;
- w is 0;
- R14 and R15 are hydrogen;
- R16a is hydrogen;
- R16 is —(C(R17a)2)2-X-R30,
- X is a chain of between 8 and 46 atoms wherein the atoms are selected from carbon and oxygen and wherein the chain may contain one, two, or three C(O)NH groups embedded therein;
- and wherein the chain is optionally substituted with one or two groups independently selected from —CO2H, —C(O)NH2, —CH2C(O)NH2, and —CH2CO2H;
- R30 is selected from —CO2H, —C(O)NRwRx, and —CH3 wherein Rw and Rx are hydrogen, provided that when X is all carbon, R30 is other than —CH3;

- R9 is hydroxyC1-C3alkyl, aminoC1-C3alkyl, or C1-C7alkyl;
- R11 is C1-C3alkoxyC1-C3alkyl or C1-C7alkyl;
- R12 is C1-C7alkyl or hydroxyC1-C3alkyl;
- and
- R13 is C1-C7 alkyl, carboxyC1-C3alkyl, or —(CH2)3NHC(NH)NH2.
