Parallel synthesis and biological evolution of quinic acid derivatives as immuno-suppressing agents against T-cell receptors

Abstract

A simple protocol for the synthesis of quinic acid derivatives was established and their biological evolution against T-cells is studied. Results showed that one of the derivatives, Cyn-1324, has low toxicity on T-cells and a high effect on reducing Signal 2 of T-cell immune responses. In vitro binding measurements of atomic force spectroscopy further indicated that the blocking effect of Cyn-1324 between CD28 and CD80 was about 31 ± 4%. In vivo animal tests also confirmed that Cyn-1324 can reduce the allergic responses from ovalbumin-induced mice with little toxicity. Based on these observations, Cyn-1324 can be a mild immuno-suppressive candidate for future drug development.
