The development of potent immunostimulatoryagents promote Th1 polarization remains a major challenge. Herein,we convert the linear aliphatic chain of αGalCer into a conformationallyconstrained all-hydrocarbon macrocyclic scaffold, establishing thefirst report of a purely hydrocarbon macrocycle pharmacophore. Guidedby the structural architecture of the CD1d antigen-binding groove,this design preorganizes the aliphatic chain to optimize A′pocket occupancy, reduce entropic penalties, and enhance binding stability.αGalCer macrocyclized (<strong>GCC</strong>) analogs <strong>GCC-1</strong> and <strong>GCC-2</strong> elicited potent Th1-biased responses, withan approximately 12-fold increase in <em>in vivo</em> IFN-γproduction relative to αGalCer, establishing them as highlypotent Th1-biased NKT cell agonists. They exhibited potent immunologicalactivity as effective antitumor immunotherapeutic agents and antiviralSARS-CoV-2 vaccine adjuvants, while retaining robust responsivenessin human NKT cells.
