Trehalose-6,6′-dimycolate (TDM) and its monosaccharide-type analogues were synthesized, and their lethal and adjuvant activities were examined in mice. All the monosaccharide-type analogues with a glucose orN-acetylglucosamine moiety were devoid of lethal toxicity to mice; in particular,d-GlcNAcM(1-deoxy) andd-GlcNM did not cause any loss of body weight at an early stage after intravenous administration as a 9% oil-in-water emulsion. Intraperitoneal administration ofd-GlcNAcM(1-deoxy) in aqueous suspension, as well as TDM, could activate macrophages to become tumoricidal against tumour cells, whereasd-GlcNAcM(1-deoxy) in oil emulsion, unlike TDM, caused no granulomatous formation in the lung after intravenous injection. Squalane-treatedd-GlcNAcM(1-deoxy) showed significant inhibition of spontaneous lung metastases by B16-BL6 melanoma cells when it was administered twice intratumorally. The non-toxic monosaccharide-type analogue of TDM [d-GlcNAcM(1-deoxy)] was a beneficial adjuvant for the activation of macrophages and the prevention of cancer metastasis.
