Muramyl dipeptide (MDP), eight new lipophilic MDP derivatives (MDPs) and three purified saponins were evaluated for their ability to induce immune responses in mice immunized with HIV-1 envelope protein rgp160 and for their ability to influence the HIV-1 replication in vitro. Three of nine new synthetic MDP derivatives (beta-butyl-MDP, MTPO-26 and beta-cholesteryl-MDP) and one saponin (Taurosid I) have been shown to induce strong humoral immune responses to HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins rgp160 and rgp120. Three substances (beta-butyl-MDP, MDP-cholyl and beta-G27-MDP) induced high levels of T-cell stimulation to HIV-1 rgp160. beta-butyl-MDP induced the strongest B- and T-cell responses to HIV-1 glycoproteins. Two substances (beta-butyl-MDP and Taurosid I) did not induce an enhancement of HIV-1 replication in vitro and can be considered as promising adjuvants.
