2’3’-c-diAM(PS)2(Rp,Rp) endotoxin-free, sterile STING ligand
2’3’-c-di-AM(PS)2 (Rp,Rp) is the Rp, Rp-isomer of the 2’3’ bisphosphorothioate analog of 3’3’-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP), a cyclic dinucleotide (CDN). c-di-AMP is a second messenger molecule produced by bacteria and has potent immunostimulant activity in mammals [1]. It activates innate immunity by directly binding the endoplasmic reticulum-resident receptor STING (stimulator of interferon genes), leading to the expression of interferon-β (IFN-β) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) dependent inflammatory cytokines [2].
Key Features
-
2’3’-c-di-AM(PS)2 (Rp,Rp) has a higher affinity for STING than c-di-AMP due to the presence of a 2’-5’, 3’-5’ mixed linkage, as found in endogenous human CDNs produced by cGAS (cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase) [3]. It activates all known human STING alleles, as well as mouse STING.
-
In addition, this c-di-AMP analog contains two phosphorothioate diester linkages, which prevent its degradation by the phosphodiesterases that are present in host cells or in the systemic circulation [4].
- Finally, this Rp, Rp dithio diastereoisomer was found to induce higher type I IFN production when compared to the Rp/Sp dithio diastereoisomers or c-di-AMP [3].
2’3’-c-di-AM(PS)2 (Rp,Rp) VacciGrade™ is a high-quality pre-clinical grade.
2’3’-c-di-AM(PS)2 (Rp,Rp) VacciGrade™ is for research use only, and not for human or veterinary use.

VacciGrade™
VacciGrade™ is a high-quality pre-clinical grade. VacciGrade™ products are filter-sterilized (0.2 µm) and filled under strict aseptic conditions in a clean room*. The absence of bacterial contamination is assessed by a sterility test using a pharmacopeia-derived assay. The level of bacterial contaminants (endotoxins and lipoproteins) in each lot is verified using a LAL assay and/or a TLR2 and TLR4 reporter assay.
*Except for LPS VacciGrade™, which is prepared in a laminar flow hood dedicated to LPS.
