Figure4.5 Chemical structures of various lipid As and lipid A analogs.
Previous structure–activity relationship studies[4a, 24] have revealed that agonis­tic and antagonistic effects can be controlled by the number of acyl chains and phos­phate groups and the chain length (Figures4.4 and4.5). That is, hexa-acylated E. coli lipid A (1) is an agonist, whereas tetra-acylated lipid IVa (3) is an antagonist. MPL504 (6) (Figure4.5), which is E. coli lipid A (1) without 1-phosphate, shows weaker IL-6- inducing activity than E. coli lipid A (1)[23]. MPL504 (6) is less dependent on CD14, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored receptor known to serve as a co-receptor for TLR4. Additionally, TLR4/MD2 dimerization in response to MPL is much lower than the response to E. coli LPS. MPL504 (6) has shown CD14-independent but MyD88-dependent TNFα-producing ability and TRIF-dependent CD86 upregula­tion and IFNβ-inducing ability [23b]. Similar to MPL504 (6), MPL505 (7), which lacks a 4′-phosphate, also exhibits mild immunomodulatory effects. However, while the ability of MPL504 (6) to induce IL-18 production is lower than that of E. coli LPS, MPL505 (7) exhibits the same IL-18 induction level as E. coli LPS [23c]. Therefore, these MPLs are expected to be developed as future adjuvants with differ­ent adjuvant effects. As described below, such structural modifications help regulate the effects of lipid A as a potential adjuvant.
LPS consists of an O-antigen polysaccharide part that is characteristic of each bacterial species, a core oligosaccharide part that has a high degree of commonality

in chemical structure across bacterial species, and a lipid A component (Figure4.1). We also investigated the structure–activity relationship of lipid A connected with the partial structure of the core oligosaccharide. There are R-mutant bacteria con­sisting of LPS lacking the O-antigen polysaccharide moiety, and the E. coli Re-mutant has a Re-LPS (8) consisting of lipid A linked to Kdo disaccharide. To elucidate the effect of Kdo on lipid A activity, we synthesized Re-LPS (8), Kdo-506 (9), and Kdo­MPL504 (10) (Figure 4.5), showing for the first time that Kdo enhances lipid A activity[25].
4.3 Vaccines Containing Natural LPS as Adjuvants
Vaccines are designed to attenuate or inactivate pathogens and their toxins. Most vaccines for bacteria contain natural bacterial components, and some of which would act as natural adjuvants. LPS is considered the main natural adjuvant in vac­cines derived from Gram-negative bacteria. Here are some examples of vaccines that contain LPS.
4.3.1 Cholera Vaccines
Live-attenuated and inactivated whole-cell vaccines have been developed for chol­era[26]. These vaccines include V. cholerae LPS and act as natural adjuvants.
An injectable whole-cell cholera vaccine was used in the 1960s, mainly in the USA and Japan, and was administered subcutaneously twice every five to seven days. The immune response rate was 50%, and protection continued for only six months. Side effects have been reported, and the World Health Organization recom­mended its discontinuation.

Dukoral nit, is an oral vaccine that was licensed in Sweden in 1991. This vaccine has an effi­cacy rate of 85–97% with few side effects. The duration of protection is approximately two to three years. It is licensed mainly in Europe, Canada, South Asia, and Latin America.
Live-attenuated oral cholera vaccines, Orochol using the V. cholerae Inaba strain, whose cholera toxin A subunit (toxic) was deleted. This vaccine is approved in the same country as Dukoral and has a similar effectivity rate and effectivity period. However, the production and sale of these vaccines have been discontinued.

Inactivated whole-cell vaccines (heat–phenol-inactivated or acetone-inactivated) were first developed in 1896. However, these have reported side effects, and most countries have withdrawn the use of these vaccines.

Typhim Vi
and Typherix®, using the virulence (Vi) capsular polysaccharide anti­gen purified from Salmonella Typhi, are subunit vaccines. Because the Vi capsular polysaccharide antigen was checked by the endotoxin test, LPS was omitted. This vaccine is effective for several years with a single injection. Its side effects are similar to those of whole-cell-inactivated vaccines but are relatively mild. It is licensed in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the USA.
4.3.3 Other Vaccines
Bexsero®, a vaccine against meningococcal group B (MenB), was developed by Novartis. It contains a meningococcal outer membrane vesicle, and LPS derived from meningococcal outer membrane vesicles can function as adjuvants in these
®
vaccines[28]. In contrast, the MenB vaccine Trumenba
uses a recombinant lipo-
protein containing the TLR2ligand bound to the protein antigen[29].
For Bordetella pertussis, subunit and inactivated vaccines have been developed and are used as diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis combination vaccine or diphthe­ria, pertussis, tetanus, and inactivated poliovirus combination vaccine. In most combination vaccines, the safer acellular pertussis vaccine is commonly used. However, a more effective whole-cell vaccine is still being used.
Similarly, for other Gram-negative bacteria, such as Haemophilus influenzae type b and Neisseria meningitidis (serogroups A, B, C, Y, and W-135), vaccines have also been developed, but all of them are capsular polysaccharide based vaccines; hence LPS was not included.
Therefore, vaccines that might contain LPS are widely used, and, in some cases, LPS may act as an adjuvant. In addition, it has been reported that some LPS could retain their immunostimulatory effects even when administered orally[30], in which case side effects would decrease compared to injected whole-cell vaccines with LPS.
4.4 LPS and Lipid A in the Environment or Fermented Foods as Adjuvants
Immunomodulatory functions of LPS and lipid A in the environment or fermented foods have been reported; thus, LPS and lipid A are attracting attention as safe adju­vant candidates.
The Gram-negative bacterium Pantoea agglomerans, which is widely present in the soil and plants such as wheat, rice, sweet potato, apple, and pear, has been

LPS had weaker immunostimulating effects than E. coli LPS, A. pasteurianus LPS and lipid A are still expected to be novel adjuvants because of their safety as food­derived compounds.
The hygiene hypothesis states that exposure to environmental microbes during early childhood reduces the risk of developing allergic diseases. In the search for bacteria with an allergy-suppressing ability, Acinetobacter lwoffii F78[34] was found in livestock feed. A. lwoffii LPS selectively induces T helper 1 (Th1) cell-derived cytokines, such as IL-12 and IFN-γ, which exhibit anti-allergic effects. A. lwoffii F78LPS and its lipid A 13 (Figure4.6) have potential as novel adjuvants.
4.5 Synthetic and Semisynthetic Lipid As as Adjuvants
3D-MPL (2) [5] (Figure4.2), which has a 4′-monophosphate structure similar to MPL504 (6), was developed by GSK. By optimizing the lipid A structure, especially the acyl and phosphate groups, 3D-MPL (2) has been successfully attenuated and is currently being derivatized and produced from S. minnesota R595LPS. 3D-MPL (2) selectively activates the TRIF-dependent pathway of the two signaling cascades downstream of TLR4/MD2 (Figure4.3).
GSK has developed the liposome adjuvant AS01, a mixture of 3D-MPL (2), choles­terol, and QS21 (a saponin derived from the South American native tree Quillaja saponaria). AS01was applied to the herpes zoster vaccine, composed of recombi­nant glycoprotein E of varicella-zoster virus and AS01.
Infectious sporozoites are injected into human blood via salivary glands during blood collection by Anopheles vector mosquitoes during infection with Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of malaria. Therefore, the development of vaccines targeting sporozoite surface proteins has been pursued. The recombinant protein RTS,S consists of a segment of a sporozoite protein and the hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen, and the malaria vaccine candidate RTS,S/AS01has been developed by GSK and is currently in phase III clinical trials. Adjuvant AS02, which consists of 3D-MPL (2), oil emulsion, squalene, and QS21, has also been developed by GSK, and the malaria vaccine RTS,S/AS02 is currently in phase III clinical trials.
GSK has also developed the adjuvant AS04, a mixture of 3D-MPL (2) and alu­minum salts. Cell-mediated immune responses are induced by AS04, which exhibits antiviral effects. AS04 is practically used as an adjuvant for the human papillomavi-

Furthermore, the MPL mimic RC-529 (14) (Figure4.7) was approved as an adju­vant for the HBV vaccine in Argentina in 2003.
Lipid A adjuvants such as MPL can induce anti-inflammatory cytokines, includ­ing IL-10, while modulating the induction of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 by their chemical structural modifications[36]; therefore, lipid A adjuvants have a low risk of developing adjuvant-induced autoimmune diseases.

4.6 Developing Novel Lipid A Adjuvants

4.6.1 Parasitic Bacterial Lipid As
Recently, we undertook a lipid A-mediated host–bacterial chemical ecology study. Considering human symbiotic bacterial components as a pool of safe immunomod­ulators, we elucidated the immunomodulatory function of symbiotic bacterial lipid As, thereby investigating the lipid A-mediated chemical communication between host and symbiotic bacteria and developing their lipid As into safe and effective adjuvants[23c, 37].
Helicobacter pylori, which lives in the stomach, causes gastric ulcers, and
Porphyromonas gingivalis, an oral bacterium, is a causative agent of periodontal dis-
ease. Extracted LPS from these parasitic bacteria has weak immunostimulatory effects and is associated with chronic inflammation and atherosclerosis[38]. H. pylori and P. gingivalis lipid As 15–21 are heterogeneous and have several different struc­tures (Figure4.8). The ability of these parasitic bacterial lipid As to regulate TLR4/ MD2was suggested to be a factor in the specific biological activity of the aforemen­tioned parasitic bacterial LPS[39]. E. coli lipid A (1) (Figure4.1) consists of six fatty chains (C12–C14), whereas H. pylori lipid As 15, 16 have fewer (three to four) but longer (C16–C18) fatty chains. Regarding phosphate groups, E. coli lipid A (1) has two phosphate groups at the 1 and 4′-positions, whereas H. pylori lipid A has an MPL structure. That is, 15a, 16a have a phosphate group only at the 1-position, and 15b, 16b have an ethanolamine phosphate group only at the 1-position. P. gingivalis

lipid As 18–21 have three to five fatty chains (C15–C17), including chains with ter­minal branches, and only the 1-position is phosphorylated. Parasitic bacterial lipid As 15–21 have the following common structural features: Compared to canonical E. coli lipid A (1), the fatty chains are longer and more diverse, and only 1-position is phosphorylated.
We have chemically synthesized these parasitic bacterial partial structures 15–21 comprehensively and evaluated their immunostimulatory functions (cytokine­inducing activities) in human peripheral whole blood. Their antagonistic effects on TLR4/MD-2were evaluated by competition assays using E. coli LPS. Parasitic bacte- rial lipid As 15a, 16a, 18, 19, which have three to four fatty acid chains and one normal phosphate group, showed antagonistic activity in the induction of pro­inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-α. In contrast, H. pylori lipid A 15b, 16b with three to four fatty acid chains and one ethanolamine phosphate group and P. gingivalis lipid A 20 with five fatty acid chains and one normal phosphate group showed IL-6- and TNF-α-inducing activity; however, the degree of activity was markedly lower than that of E. coli LPS. As shown in Figure4.1, canonical E. coli lipid A (1) is linked to the polysaccharide part via Kdo and the immunostimulatory effect of lipid A is enhanced by the introduction of Kdo for E. coli lipid A[25]. In contrast, for H. pylori lipid A, 17a with Kdo added to antagonist 15a showed stronger antagonistic effects than 15a, and 17b with Kdo added to weak agonist 15b switched to an antagonist [37a]. For H. pylori LPS, Kdo-lipid A, but not lipid A itself, was found to be the active principle. All parasitic bacterial lipid As 15-21 induced IL-12 and -18, which are involved in chronic inflammation, and 15a, 16a, 17-19 were found to selectively induce IL-12 and IL-18. Because the combination of IL-12 and IL-18induces IFN-γ, which is involved in antitumor and anti-allergic responses, H. pylori lipid As, which selectively induce IL-12 and IL-18, are promising adjuvant candidates. LPS-mediated IL-18induction was reported to be dependent on the
4.7 Symbiotic Bacterial Lipid As
TRIF pathway [40]; however, a TRIF-independent pathway has also been reported[41]. The molecular mechanism of selective cytokine induction triggered by parasitic bacterial lipid As remains unclear. In 2014, it was reported that caspases 4, 5, and 11 are cytosolic LPS receptors [42]. Therefore, there may be a TLR4­independent pathway in humans via caspase 4 or 5 for caspase-1 activation, which is upstream of IL-18induction.
4.7 Symbiotic Bacterial Lipid As
Parasitic bacterial lipid A research has suggested that parasitic bacteria evolve to escape the innate immune responses of the host, and their LPS/lipid A show antag­onistic or extremely weak agonistic effects that favor infection of the host. Furthermore, these results indicate that parasitic bacteria might induce chronic inflammatory diseases while avoiding the bactericidal effects derived from acute inflammation (host immune response), suggesting that the activity of lipid A pro­foundly reflects the characteristics of the bacteria, i.e. that there is the presence of a lipid A-mediated bacterial–host chemical ecology (chemical communication between bacteria and host via lipid A). Thus, we hypothesized that symbiotic bacte­ria would have extremely low toxic immunomodulators and their components would be associated with maintaining homeostasis, and we chose symbiotic bacte­rial lipid A as a pool of safer immunomodulators.
Kiyono and Kunisawa revealed that the Gram-negative bacteria Alcaligenes faeca- lis inhabits gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT), Peyer’s patches, which play an important role in the maintenance of homeostasis[43]. We hypothesized that A. fae- calis lipid A has a homeostatic function, which is a key factor in establishing symbi­otic relationships with the host, and could be applied as a safe, low-toxicity immunomodulator. Therefore, we performed purification, structural determina­tion, and functional analysis of A. faecalis LPS. Canonical E. coli produce LPS con­sisting of tens to hundreds of sugar residues; however, some species produce lipooligosaccharides (LOS) with short sugar chains. We have revealed that A. faeca- lis produces a LOS consisting of a nonasaccharide (Figure4.9)[37c].

The extracted LOS fraction from A. faecalis significantly promoted IgA antibody production without toxicity and was comparable to that of toxic E. coli LPS, suggest­ing that the A. faecalis component is a promising safe adjuvant. Furthermore, the antibody production enhancement of the extracted A. faecalis LOS was TLR4­dependent, and it was suggested that lipid A is an adjuvant function core [44]. Structural analysis showed that A. faecalis lipid A was a mixture of 22–24 with differ­ent acyl chain patterns (Figure4.10). Thus, we chemically synthesized 22–24 and

evaluated their functions using human monocytic cells and found that only hexa-acylated A. faecalis lipid A 22 (Hexa-AfLA) showed immunostimulatory activ­ity, which was almost identical to that of the extracted A. faecalis LOS, indicating that Hexa-AfLA is the active component of A. faecalis LOS[37c]. In vivo studies in mice confirmed that Hexa-AfLA has the same useful adjuvant effect (enhancement of antigen-specific IgA and IgG production and Th17-mediated protective immunity) as A. faecalis LOS without toxicity[45]. The efficacy of Hexa-AfLA as a safe nasal vaccine adjuvant has been demonstrated in S. pneumoniae infection models [45], making it an extremely promising adjuvant for vaccines against infectious diseases.
Hexa-AfLA from GALT resident A. faecalis can regulate the induction of IgA, which is responsible for maintaining the homeostasis of mucosal immunity, sug­gesting that Hexa-AfLA is a regulator of intestinal mucosal immunity. Based on bacterial–host chemical ecology research, we have succeeded in identifying key compounds for intestinal mucosal immunity by focusing on symbiotic bacteria inhabiting the GALT and immunoregulatory tissues in the gut and have found promising adjuvants that can safely regulate mucosal immunity.
4.8 Lipid A-Based Self-Adjuvanting Vaccines
The self-adjuvanting strategy promotes more efficient antibody production by com­plexing the antigen with the adjuvant. Recently, many studies on this strategy, espe­cially those using lipopeptide adjuvants (Pam published[6, 46]. The antigen–adjuvant complex is actively taken up by dendritic cells via an innate immune ligand (adjuvant), which activates the immune system and induces cytokine production, resulting in efficient antibody production (Figure4.11). The advantage of this strategy is that the antigen and adjuvant are taken up by the same dendritic cells and can trigger a specific immune response. It is also excellent in terms of quality retention and safety control because it is easy to obtain high-purity products. As for complexing methods between antigens and adjuvants, one is based on covalent bond formation[46], and the other is based on liposomes or self-aggregate formation[47]. In this section, covalent bond formation­type self-adjuvanting vaccines using lipid A are described.
Guo and coworkers synthesized an MPL-based self-adjuvanting vaccine, which is a covalently bound MPL adjuvant and antigen. They reported a complex MPL with GM3[48] or α-2,9-oligosialic acid (meningococcal antigen)[49] (Figure4.12a) and confirmed enhanced antibody production. Lewicky and Jiang synthesized an MPL mimic, RC-529 (14), conjugated with a Thomsen–Friedenreich antigen (a tumor­associated carbohydrate antigen) (Figure4.12b)[50]. Codée and coworkers synthe­sized a lipid A mimic, CRX-527, conjugated with peptide antigen (Figure4.12c), and T-cell immune responses against the antigen and specific killing of target cells expressing the antigen were observed[51].
