Many studies have investigated how trehalose glycolipid structures can be modified to improve their Macrophage inducible C-type lectin (Mincle)-mediated adjuvanticity. However, in all instances, the ester-linkage of α,ά-trehalose to the lipid of choice remained. We investigated how changing this ester-linkage to an amide influences Mincle signalling and agonist activity and demonstrated that Mincle tolerates this functional group change. In in vivo vaccination studies in murine and ovine model systems, using OVA or Mannheimia haemolytica and Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae as vaccine antigens, respectively, it was demonstrated that a representative trehalose diamide glycolipid was able to enhance antibody-specific immune responses. Notably, IgG titres against M. ovipneumoniae were significantly greater when using trehalose dibehenamide (A-TDB) compared to trehalose dibehenate (TDB). This is particularly important as infection with M. ovipneumoniae predisposes sheep to pneumonia.

The gene of plays a positive role in oxidative stress responses and the WhcE protein interacts with SpiE. By utilizing 2D-PAGE analysis, we identified the gene to be under the control of . The transcription of , encoding trehalose 6-phosphatase, was stimulated by oxidative stress, and and were involved in diamide-mediated transcriptional stimulation.

Mincle agonists have been shown to induce inflammatory cytokine production, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) and promote the development of a Th1/Th17 immune response that might be crucial to development of effective vaccination against pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. As an expansion of our previous work, a library of 6,6'-amide and sulfonamide α,α-d-trehalose compounds with various substituents on the aromatic ring was synthesized efficiently in good to excellent yields. These compounds were evaluated for their ability to activate the human C-type lectin receptor Mincle by the induction of cytokines from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Agrotis ipsilon (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a major underground pest that damages many agricultural crops in China and other countries. A diet-incorporation-based bioassay was conducted to evaluate the sublethal effects of the novel anthranilic diamide chlorantraniliprole on the nutritional physiology, enzymatic properties and population parameters of this cutworm. Chlorantraniliprole exhibited signs of active toxicity against third instar larvae of A.
