Biological Activity
TOK-8801 is a synthesized dihydroimidazothiazole carboxamide and is under development as an immunomodulator. TOK-8801 augments the in vitro anti-SRBC PFC response of murine splenocytes in a bell-shaped manner. The stimulatory effect of TOK-8801 is observed at concentrations of 2.5×10-7 to 2.5×10-5 M and is diminished at 10-4 M. The cell-viability is not altered during the culture with TOK-8801 at any doses used in this experiment (10-7 to 10-4 M). TOK-8801 enhances the 3H-TdR uptake of these responses in a bell-shaped manner, and effective concentrations of TOK-8801 are 10-7 to 10-5 M[1].

Protocol
Spleen cells (2×105) or thymus cells (2×105) from BALB/c mice are cultured with Con A (1 or 5 μg/mL) or LPS (10 μg/mL) in 0.2 mL of RPMI-1640 medium containing 5% FCS using round-bottomed microculture plates with 96 wells for 2 days and are pulsed with 0.5 μCi of 3H-TdR for an additional 18 hr. Then, cells are harvested on glass fiber fillters, and 3H-TdR incorporation is measured in a liquid scintillation counter. TOK-8801 is added at the initiation of the culture[1].

Male BDFI mice are used in this study. Control mice are maintained without food or water while counterparts are under the condition of restraint-stress. On the next day, the mice are immunized with 5×108 SRBC intraperitoneally. Immediately, 24 hr and 48 hr after the immunization, TOK-8801 is orally given at doses of 0.02, 0.1 and 0.5 mg/kg/day. All administrations are done after a starvation for 6 hr. Four days after the immunization, splenic anti SRBC PFC are assayed[1].
