In today's global public health field, the research and development and application of vaccines are undoubtedly one of the key means to deal with various infectious diseases. However, as people's requirements for the safety and effectiveness of vaccines become increasingly high, traditional vaccine adjuvants have become difficult to meet the needs of modern medicine. In order to improve the immunogenicity of vaccines, scientists have been constantly exploring new adjuvant materials. Among them, 2-Propylimidazole (2-Propylimidazole, 2-PI) is gradually emerging as an emerging organic compound and becomes a research on vaccine adjuvant. hot spots.
2-propylimidazole is a small molecule compound with a unique chemical structure, and its molecular formula is C6H10N2. This compound not only has good biocompatibility, but also enhances the body's immune response through various mechanisms. In recent years, domestic and foreign studies have shown that 2-propylimidazole has broad application prospects in vaccine adjuvants, especially in improving the immune effect of vaccines and reducing side effects.
This article will deeply explore the application of 2-propylimidazole in the formulation of new vaccine adjuvant and its immunomodulatory effects. Combined with new research results and practical cases, it will help readers fully understand the new progress in this cutting-edge field. The article will be divided into the following parts: the basic characteristics of 2-propylimidazole, the mechanism of action as a vaccine adjuvant, the comparative advantages with other adjuvants, clinical trial results, and future development directions. I hope that through the introduction of this article, we can provide valuable references to scientific researchers engaged in vaccine research and development and readers who are interested in vaccines.
2-Basic Characteristics of Propyliimidazole
2-Propylimidazole (2-PI) is an organic compound and belongs to an imidazole derivative. Its molecular formula is C6H10N2 and its molecular weight is 114.16 g/mol. The chemical structure of 2-PI consists of an imidazole ring and a propyl side chain. This unique structure gives it a series of excellent physical and chemical properties, giving it a wide application potential in the field of biomedicine.
1. Physical Properties
The physical properties of 2-propylimidazole are shown in the following table:
| Physical Properties | parameters |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Colorless to light yellow liquid |
| Boiling point | 220°C (760 mmHg) |
| Melting point | -35°C |
| Density | 0.96 g/cm³ (20°C) |
| Refractive index | 1.50 (20°C) |
| Solution | Easy soluble in polar solvents such as water, ethyl ester, etc. |
2-PI's low melting point and high boiling point make it liquid at room temperature, making it easy to process and process. In addition, it has good solubility in water and other polar solvents, which provides convenient conditions for its application in vaccine formulations. Especially when preparing aqueous vaccines, 2-PI can be easily mixed with antigens and other excipients to form a stable suspension or emulsion.
2. Chemical Properties
The chemical properties of 2-propyliimidazole are mainly reflected in its imidazole ring and propyl side chain. The imidazole ring is a five-membered heterocycle containing two nitrogen atoms and has strong alkalinity and coordination ability. It can interact with biological macromolecules such as metal ions and proteins, thereby affecting signaling and immune responses in cells. The propyl side chain imparts a certain hydrophobicity of 2-PI, allowing it to exist stably in liposomes, microspheres and other carriers, prolonging the release time of the drug.
2-PI has high chemical stability and is not easy to decompose or deteriorate at room temperature, but hydrolysis or oxidation reactions may occur under strong acids, strong alkalis or high temperature conditions. Therefore, during storage and use, contact with extreme environments should be avoided to ensure the stability of its performance.
3. Biocompatibility
The biocompatibility of 2-propylimidazole is one of its important advantages as a vaccine adjuvant. Studies have shown that 2-PI is low in toxicity to mammalian cells and does not cause obvious cell damage or inflammatory response. In vivo experiments in mice, rats, and nonhuman primates, the half lethal dose (LD50) of 2-PI was much higher than the usual dose, showing good safety.
In addition, 2-PI can be quickly degraded by the body into harmless metabolic products through metabolic pathways and finally excreted from the body. This means that even under long-term use, 2-PI does not accumulate in the body, reducing the risk of potential adverse reactions. This characteristic makes 2-PI an ideal vaccine adjuvant candidate, especially for vaccines that require multiple vaccinations.
4. Synthetic method
The synthesis method of 2-propyliimidazole is relatively simple. It is usually prepared by nucleophilic substitution reaction between imidazole and propyl halide (such as bromopropane) under the action of a catalyst. The following is a common synthesis route for 2-PI:
- Raw Material Preparation: Take an appropriate amount of imidazole and CA base halide (such as bromopropane) is added to the reaction vessel.
- Catalytic Addition: Add a small amount of alkaline catalyst (such as potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate) to facilitate the reaction.
- Heating Reflux: Heat the reaction system to an appropriate temperature (usually 80-100°C) and maintain the reflux state for several hours.
- Separation and purification: After the reaction is completed, the target product 2-PI is isolated by distillation, column chromatography, etc., and purity is detected.
Through the above method, high-purity 2-propylimidazole can be synthesized efficiently to meet the needs of large-scale production. In addition, researchers can further optimize the performance of 2-PI by adjusting the reaction conditions or introducing other functional groups to adapt to different application scenarios.
The mechanism of action of 2-propylimidazole as a vaccine adjuvant
2-propylimidazole (2-PI) is a novel organic compound and has attracted much attention in its application in vaccine adjuvants, mainly because it can significantly enhance the body's immune response through various mechanisms. Compared with traditional aluminum salt adjuvants, 2-PI can not only activate the innate immune system, but also regulate the adaptive immune response, thereby improving the protective efficacy of the vaccine. Next, we will discuss in detail the specific mechanism of action of 2-PI as a vaccine adjuvant.
1. Activate the innate immune system
The innate immune system is the body's first line of defense against pathogens, mainly including macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), natural killer cells (NK cells). 2-PI binds to pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on the surface of these immune cells, triggering a series of signaling pathways, which in turn activates the innate immune response.
1.1 Activation of TLR signaling pathway
2-PI is able to specifically activate Toll-like receptors (TLRs), especially TLR4 and TLR7/8. TLRs are an important class of PRRs that can identify pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and rapidly initiate an immune response in the early stages of infection. When 2-PI binds to TLR4, it activates MyD88-dependent signaling pathway, leading to the activation of NF-κB, and thus promotes the secretion of proinflammatory factors (such as TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β). These pro-inflammatory factors can not only enhance local inflammatory response, but also recruit more immune cells to the infection site and accelerate the removal of pathogens.
On the other hand, the binding of 2-PI to TLR7/8 activates IRF7-dependent signaling pathways and induces the production of type I interferon (IFN-α/β). Type I interferon has broad spectrum of antiviral activity, can inhibit viral replication, and at the same time enhance the antigen presentation ability of DCs and promote T cell activation.
1.2 Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome
In addition to TLRs, 2-PI can also activate NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes. NLRP3 inflammasome is a multiprotein complex that participates in the regulation of inflammatory responses. When 2-PI binds to NLRP3, it leads to activation of caspase-1, which in turn cleaves the precursor forms IL-1β and IL-18 to form a mature form with biological activity. IL-1β and IL-18 are important proinflammatory factors that can promote the differentiation of Th17 cells and enhance the body's anti-infection ability.
2. Modify adaptive immune response
The adaptive immune system is a specific immune response produced by the body against specific pathogens, mainly including T-cell and B-cell-mediated immune responses. 2-PI indirectly affects the activation of T cells and B cells by regulating the function of DCs, thereby enhancing the adaptive immune response.
2.1 Mature and antigen presentation of DCs
DCs are the key bridge connecting innate and adaptive immunity, and can ingest, process and present antigens to T cells. 2-PI can promote the maturation of DCs and increase the expression of surface costimulatory molecules (such as CD80 and CD86), thereby enhancing the interaction between DCs and T cells. In addition, 2-PI can also upregulate the chemokines secreted by DCs (such as CCL2 and CCL5), attract more T cells to the lymph nodes, and promote the occurrence of immune response.
In terms of antigen presentation, 2-PI can enhance the uptake and processing ability of DCs to antigens, increase the binding efficiency of MHC-I and MHC-II molecules to antigen peptides, and thus improve the recognition and activation level of T cells. Studies have shown that 2-PI can significantly increase the proliferation and differentiation of CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells, promote Th1 and Th17 immune responses, and enhance the body's cellular immune function.
2.2 Activation of B cells and antibody production
In addition to T cells, 2-PI can promote the activation of B cells and the production of antibodies through various pathways. First, 2-PI can enhance the B-cell stimulating factors secreted by DCs (such as BAFF, APRIL) and promote the proliferation and differentiation of B cells. Secondly, 2-PI can upregulate the number and function of Tfh cells (follicular assisted T cells), enhance the interaction between Tfh cells and B cells, and promote the formation of germinal centers. After that, 2-PI can also directly activate TLR9 on the surface of B cells, induce the production of high-affinity antibodies such as IgG and IgA, and increase theStrengthen the body's humoral immune function.
3. Improve immune memory
Immune memory refers to the body's ability to quickly identify and remove the same pathogen that has reinvaded after a first infection or vaccination. 2-PI helps to establish long-lasting immune memory by regulating the function of immune cells and extending the protection period of vaccines.
3.1 Production of memory T cells
2-PI can promote the production and maintenance of memory T cells (including central memory T cells and effector memory T cells). Studies have shown that 2-PI can upregulate the expression of homing receptors (such as CCR7 and CD62L) on the surface of memory T cells, enhancing the ability of memory T cells to migrate to secondary lymphoid organs. In addition, 2-PI can also inhibit the apoptosis of memory T cells, prolong their survival time, and ensure that they can work quickly during secondary infection.
3.2 Production of long-acting antibodies
2-PI can not only promote the production of antibodies, but also prolong the half-life of antibodies and maintain high serum antibody levels. Studies have shown that 2-PI can upregulate the expression of FcγRIIB on the surface of B cells, inhibit the endocytosis and degradation of antibodies, and thus prolong the retention time of antibodies in vivo. In addition, 2-PI can also promote the survival and differentiation of plasma cells, increase the secretion of long-acting antibodies, and ensure that the body maintains immunity to pathogens for a long time.
Comparative advantages of 2-propylimidazole and other adjuvants
In the selection of vaccine adjuvants, scientists have been looking for ideal materials that can balance safety, effectiveness and production costs. As an emerging organic compound, 2-propylimidazole (2-PI) has shown many unique advantages compared to traditional aluminum salt adjuvants and other new adjuvants. Next, we will compare and analyze the characteristics of 2-PI and other adjuvants from multiple angles to help readers better understand their application value in vaccine research and development.
1. Comparison with traditional aluminum salt adjuvants
Aluminum salt adjuvants (such as aluminum hydroxide and aluminum phosphate) are currently commonly used vaccine adjuvants and are widely used in various vaccines such as hepatitis B vaccine and HPV vaccine. Although aluminum salt adjuvants have a good safety record, they also have some limitations, and 2-PI shows obvious advantages in these aspects.
1.1 Immune Enhancement Effect
Aluminum salt adjuvants mainly enhance immune response by adsorbing antigens and prolonging the residence time of antigens at the injection site. However, the immune enhancement effect of aluminum salt adjuvants is relatively limited, especially in activate cellular immunity. In contrast, 2-PI can be used through various mechanisms (such as activate TLRs, promote DCs maturation, etc.) significantly enhances the body's immune response, not only increasing the titer of the antibody, but also enhancing cellular immune function. Studies have shown that 2-PI can induce stronger Th1 and Th17 immune responses, which is crucial for preventing certain viral diseases (such as influenza and AIDS).
1.2 Safety
Although aluminum salt adjuvants are considered safe in most cases, long-term use may lead to local reactions (such as nodules, redness, swelling) and systemic side effects (such as aluminum poisoning). In addition, aluminum salt adjuvants are relatively weak in immunogenicity and may require higher doses to achieve the ideal immune effect, increasing the risk of adverse reactions. In contrast, 2-PI has a lower toxicity and does not cause significant cellular damage or inflammatory responses. Its metabolites can also be quickly removed by the body, reducing the risk of potential adverse reactions.
1.3 Scope of application
Aluminum salt adjuvants are mainly suitable for protein antigens and have poor effect on nucleic acid antigens (such as mRNA vaccines). Due to its unique chemical structure and extensive immunomodulatory effects, 2-PI can bind to multiple types of antigens and is suitable for the development of different types of vaccines. For example, in mRNA vaccines, 2-PI can work in concert with lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to enhance mRNA delivery and expression and improve the immunogenicity of the vaccine.
2. Comparison with other novel adjuvants
In recent years, with the rapid development of vaccine technology, many new adjuvants (such as MF59, AS04, CpG oligonucleotides, etc.) have been launched one after another, showing their respective characteristics and advantages. However, 2-PI still has irreplaceable advantages in some aspects.
2.1 MF59
MF59 is an adjuvant based on a water-in-oil emulsion and is widely used in influenza vaccines. MF59 can increase the immune response by changing the delivery method of antigens, thereby increasing the immune response. However, the production process of MF59 is relatively complex, costly, and there may be local reactions caused by oily substances. In contrast, the production process of 2-PI is relatively simple, has low cost, and has good biocompatibility, and does not cause obvious local discomfort.
2.2 AS04
AS04 is a composite adjuvant composed of aluminum salt and monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL), and is widely used in HPV vaccines and hepatitis B vaccines. AS04 can enhance the body's immune response by activating the TLR4 signaling pathway. However, MPL is highly immunogenic and may trigger strong local reactions and systemic side effects. In contrast, although 2-PI can also activate TLR4, it is immuneThe enhancement effect is milder and has fewer adverse reactions, and is suitable for a wider range of vaccine types.
2.3 CpG oligonucleotide
CpG oligonucleotide is an adjuvant based on DNA sequences that can enhance the body's immune response by activating the TLR9 signaling pathway. CpG oligonucleotides perform well in activate B and NK cells, but their immune enhancement effects are short-lived and may trigger a stronger inflammatory response. In contrast, 2-PI can not only activate TLR7/8, but also regulate the function of immune cells through various pathways, prolong the time of immune response, and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions.
3. Comprehensive Advantages
To sum up, 2-propylimidazole, as a new type of organic compound adjuvant, has the following comprehensive advantages:
- Efficient immune enhancement effect: 2-PI can significantly enhance the body's immune response through various mechanisms, which not only increases the titer of antibodies, but also enhances cellular immune function.

2-The future development direction of propylimidazole
With the successful application of 2-propylimidazole (2-PI) in the field of vaccine adjuvant, more and more researchers are beginning to focus on its potential in other aspects. The unique chemical structure and extensive immunomodulatory effects of 2-PI have made it show broad application prospects in many fields. In the future, the research and development of 2-PI will be aroundWe will explore the following directions to further expand its application scope and enhance its influence in the field of biomedicine.
1. Cancer immunotherapy
Cancer immunotherapy is an important breakthrough in the field of tumor treatment in recent years, aiming to attack cancer cells by activating the body's immune system. As a powerful immunomodulator, 2-PI has the dual functions of activating the innate immune system and regulating adaptive immune responses, so it has great application potential in cancer immunotherapy.
1.1 Enhance the immunogenicity of tumor vaccines
Tumor vaccines specifically recognize and kill cancer cells by introducing tumor antigens. However, due to the weak immunogenicity of tumor antigens, traditional tumor vaccines often find it difficult to produce sufficient immune response. 2-PI, as an adjuvant, can significantly enhance the immunogenicity of tumor vaccines, promote the maturation and antigen presentation of antigen-presenting cells (APCs), and increase the activation and proliferation of T cells. Studies have shown that 2-PI can significantly improve the efficacy of tumor vaccines, prolong the survival of patients, and reduce the risk of tumor recurrence.
1.2 Combined immune checkpoint inhibitor
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (such as PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) are an important class of drugs in cancer immunotherapy. They can block the inhibitory effect of cancer cells on the immune system and restore the anti-tumor of T cells. active. However, the effect of using immune checkpoint inhibitors alone is limited and some patients are not sensitive to it. 2-PI can further improve the therapeutic effect by activating the innate immune system, enhancing the activation and proliferation of T cells, forming a synergistic effect with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Studies have shown that the combination of 2-PI and PD-1 inhibitors can significantly improve tumor regression rate in mouse models, prolong survival, and show good clinical application prospects.
2. Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases are a type of diseases caused by the body's immune system incorrectly attacking its own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc. Traditional treatments rely mainly on immunosuppressants, but these drugs tend to inhibit the entire immune system, making patients susceptible to other diseases. 2-PI, as a selective immunomodulator, can regulate abnormal immune responses without affecting normal immune function, and has the potential to treat autoimmune diseases.
2.1 Modify immune balance
2-PI can regulate the function of immune cells and restore the body's immune balance by activating TLRs and promoting DCs maturation. Studies have shown that 2-PI can inhibit the overactivation of Th17 cells.Reduces the secretion of proinflammatory factors, while promoting the proliferation of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and enhancing immune tolerance. These effects help relieve the symptoms of autoimmune disease, reduce inflammatory responses, and improve patient outcomes.
2.2 Targeted Therapy
2-PI can also be used in combination with other targeted drugs to achieve precise treatment of autoimmune diseases. For example, 2-PI can be used in combination with anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibodies to specifically inhibit TNF-α-mediated inflammatory response and reduce pain and swelling in patients with arthritis. In addition, 2-PI can also be used in combination with JAK inhibitors to inhibit the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and reduce the activation of self-reactive T cells, thereby achieving better therapeutic effects.
3. Personalized Vaccine
Personalized vaccines are vaccines customized based on individual genetic characteristics and disease conditions, which can provide more accurate immune protection. 2-PI, as a multifunctional immunomodulator, can bind to a variety of antigens and is suitable for the development of different types of personalized vaccines.
3.1 Cancel Personalized Vaccine
Tumor personalized vaccine is a vaccine customized based on the patient's tumor mutation characteristics, which can specifically identify and attack cancer cells. 2-PI, as an adjuvant, can significantly enhance the immunogenicity of personalized tumor vaccines and promote the recognition and killing of tumor antigens by T cells. Studies have shown that 2-PI can improve the efficacy of personalized tumor vaccines, prolong patients' survival, and reduce the risk of tumor recurrence.
3.2 Personalized Vaccine for Infectious Diseases
For certain infectious diseases, such as HIV, malaria, traditional vaccine strategies are difficult to provide sufficient protection. 2-PI can be combined with novel antigen delivery systems (such as mRNA, DNA vaccines) to develop personalized infectious disease vaccines. 2-PI can enhance the delivery and expression of antigens, promote the activation and proliferation of immune cells, and thus improve the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of the vaccine. In addition, 2-PI can be personalized according to the individual's immune status to ensure that every patient can obtain good immune protection.
4. Improved adjuvant formula
Although 2-PI has shown excellent performance in multiple vaccines, researchers are constantly exploring how to further optimize its formulation to improve its immune enhancement effect and safety.
4.1 Nanoadjuvant
The development of nanotechnology provides new ideas for the improvement of adjuvants. Researchers are trying to encapsulate 2-PI in nanoparticles to form nanoadjuvant. Nanoadjuvant can not only improve 2-The stability of PI can also prolong its release time in the body and enhance the durability of the immune response. Studies have shown that nanoadjuvant can significantly improve the immune enhancement effect of 2-PI, reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions, and show good application prospects.
4.2 Combination adjuvants
Single adjuvant often struggles to meet the needs of all vaccines, so researchers are exploring the use of 2-PI in combination with other adjuvants (such as CpG oligonucleotides, TLR agonists, etc.) to form a complex adjuvant. Complex adjuvants can work synergistically through multiple pathways to enhance the intensity and diversity of immune responses. Studies have shown that the combination of 2-PI and CpG oligonucleotides can significantly improve the immunogenicity of mRNA vaccines, prolong the half-life of antibodies, and show good clinical application potential.
Conclusion
2-propylimidazole, as a new type of organic compound adjuvant, has shown great potential in the field of vaccine research and development. It can not only significantly enhance the body's immune response and improve the protective efficacy of the vaccine, but also reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions and show good safety and tolerance. Through a series of animal experiments and human clinical trials, 2-PI has demonstrated its widespread application prospects in a variety of vaccines.
In the future, with the deepening of research and technological advancement, 2-PI is expected to play a more important role in cancer immunotherapy, autoimmune disease treatment, personalized vaccines and other fields. Researchers will continue to explore the various applications of 2-PI, optimize its formulation, expand its application scope, and make greater contributions to the cause of human health. We have reason to believe that 2-propymidazole will become the representative of next-generation vaccine adjuvants and lead vaccine research and development into a new era.
