Product Description
c-di-AMP (Cyclic-di-AMP; Cyclic diadenylate) is a potent STING (stimulator of interferon genes) agonist with immunomodulating and ancticancer activities, it binds to the transmembrane protein STING thereby activating the TBK3-IRF3 signaling pathway, subsequently triggering the production of type I IFN and TNF. c-di-AMP (Cyclic diadenylate) is also a bacterial second messenger, which regulates cell growth, survival, and virulence, primarily within Gram-positive bacteria, and also regulates host immune response. c-di-AMP (Cyclic diadenylate) acts as a potent mucosal adjuvant stimulating both humorally bioavailable and cellular responses.
c-di-AMP (CAS#: 54447-84-6) is a naturally occurring bacterial cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) second messenger and a potent agonist of the STimulator of INterferon Genes (STING) pathway in eukaryotic cells. It binds directly to STING with a Kd of approximately 4.59 µM, triggering a titratable type I IFN response without cGAS engagement. c-di-AMP regulates cell growth, survival, and virulence primarily within Gram-positive bacteria and also modulates host immune responses. It acts as a potent mucosal adjuvant stimulating both humoral and cellular responses. Its molecular formula is C20H24N10O12P2 with a molecular weight of 658.4 g/mol.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
c-di-AMP primarily targets the STING (STimulator of INterferon Genes) pathway in eukaryotic cells. It binds directly to the transmembrane protein STING with a Kd of ~4.59 µM, activating the TBK3-IRF3 signaling pathway and triggering the production of type I IFN and TNF. In bacteria, c-di-AMP regulates cell wall synthesis, potassium ion channels, DNA repair, and biofilm formation. It is also essential for cell growth, survival, and virulence of pathogenic bacteria including S. aureus, L. monocytogenes, S. pyogenes, and Mycobacterium spp.
ln Vitro
For many Gram-positive bacteria, the manufacture of cell walls, potassium channels, DNA repair, and the formation of biofilms are all regulated by c-di-AMP (cyclic diadenylate-AMP) signaling. A number of well-known human pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Mycobacterium spp., depend on c-di-AMP for cell growth, survival, and virulence. significant[1]. Cyclic diadenylate, or c-di-AMP, functions as a strong mucosal adjuvant by binding to model antigens like OVA or β-Gal and inducing humoral and cellular reactions [4].
c-di-AMP signaling is a central factor in many Gram-positive bacteria regulating cell wall synthesis, potassium ion channels, DNA repair, and biofilm formation. It is essential for cell growth, survival, and virulence of several human pathogenic bacteria including S. aureus, L. monocytogenes, S. pyogenes, and Mycobacterium spp. c-di-AMP combines with model antigens such as OVA or β-Gal and acts as a potent mucosal adjuvant stimulating both humoral and cellular responses. It enables dissection of the cGAS-independent STING axis in bacterial infection models.
ln Vivo
c-di-AMP acts as a balanced Th1/Th2/Th17 mucosal adjuvant with superior dendritic cell activation compared to c-di-GMP for intranasal vaccine formulations. As a bacterial second messenger, it regulates cell growth, survival, and virulence primarily within Gram-positive bacteria and modulates host immune responses. Recombinant BCG with c-di-AMP as an endogenous adjuvant induces elevated immune responses after Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. The combination vaccine adjuvant system Alum/c-di-AMP results in enhanced immune responses post immunization.
Enzyme Assay
c-di-AMP binding assays involve measuring affinity for STING using surface plasmon resonance or isothermal titration calorimetry (Kd ~4.59 µM). STING activation is assessed by measuring TBK3-IRF3 signaling pathway activation and type I IFN production in cell-free systems. Radiolabeled c-di-AMP binding displacement studies may be performed to determine binding affinity and specificity. For bacterial studies, DisA diadenylate cyclase inhibitor screening assays are performed leveraging structural divergence from mammalian cGAS. Assays are performed in appropriate buffer systems with positive controls such as known STING agonists.
Cell Assay
c-di-AMP cell-based assays are conducted in immune cells and cell lines expressing STING. Cells are cultured in appropriate media at 37°C with 5% CO2 and treated with c-di-AMP at varying concentrations. STING pathway activation is assessed by measuring type I IFN and TNF production by ELISA. IRF3 phosphorylation is analyzed by Western blot. For dendritic cell activation studies, cells are treated with c-di-AMP and activation markers are assessed by flow cytometry. For bacterial studies, cultures of Gram-positive bacteria are treated with c-di-AMP and cell growth, survival, and virulence are assessed. Experiments are performed in triplicate with appropriate controls.
Animal Protocol
c-di-AMP in vivo studies are conducted in mouse models of infection and vaccination. For vaccine adjuvant studies, animals are immunized with antigens combined with c-di-AMP via intranasal or other routes. Immune responses are assessed by measuring antibody titers, cytokine production, and T-cell responses. For infection models, animals are challenged with Mycobacterium tuberculosis or other pathogens and bacterial burden in tissues is quantified. Survival rates and clinical signs are monitored. Studies are conducted in accordance with institutional animal care guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
c-di-AMP (MW 658.4 g/mol, C20H24N10O12P2) is a cyclic dinucleotide with moderate solubility in water (3.33 mg/mL, 5.06 mM, need ultrasonic). It is supplied as a lyophilized powder with ≥98% purity (HPLC). The compound is stable as a powder at -20°C for up to 3 years and in solvent at -80°C for 6 months. Pharmacokinetic properties such as half-life, bioavailability, and tissue distribution would be determined in species-specific studies. c-di-AMP serves as an analytical standard for DisA diadenylate cyclase inhibitor screening.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
c-di-AMP is generally well-tolerated in preclinical studies at doses used for vaccine adjuvant and immunomodulation research. The compound is a naturally occurring bacterial second messenger and has been evaluated for safety in various animal models. As a STING agonist, it may elicit inflammatory responses at high doses. No significant adverse effects have been reported in the available literature at research-use concentrations. The compound is intended for research use only. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling. Comprehensive toxicological evaluation would be required for therapeutic development.
