To confirm the revised lipid A structure of Escherichia coli and to establish the structure responsible for its functions, biological activities of the synthetic compounds based on the presented structure of E. coli lipid A were investigated. Compound 506, 2-deoxy-6-O-(2-deoxy-2-[(R)-3-dodecanoyloxytetradecanoylamino]-3-O [(R)3-tetradecanoyloxytetradecanoyl]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-3-O-[(R) -3-hydroxytetradecanoyl]-2-[(R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoylamino]-alpha -D-glucopyranose 1,4'-bis(phosphate), exhibited activities identical to those of natural E. coli lipid A in eliciting Shwartzman reaction and tests on lethality, pyrogenicity, interferon- and tumor necrosis factor-inducing activities as well as in B-cell activating activity and Limulus amebocyte lysate gelating activity. With the exception of the Shwartzman reaction the monophosphorylated synthetic compounds at either the 1 or 4' position showed slightly lower activities than the compound with the bisphosphorylated compound (Compound 506). The compound without the phosphate group showed no or only very weak activities. The structural requirements for each activity (i.e. binding position and composition of fatty acids and presence of phosphate groups) are discussed taking into account the results of previous investigations.
