The aqueous preparation such as an aqueous solution, a water-in-oil emulsion, in which a water-soluble salt of the quinonyl acid derivative of the formula: ##STR1## [wherein each R is a lower alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or the two R's, taken together, represent a group of --CH.dbd.CH--CH.dbd.CH--; --A--COOH means ##STR2## when both R's are lower alkoxy groups, or --(CH.sub.2).sub.n COOH (wherein n is an integer from 1 to 8) when two R's, taken together, represent a group of --CH.dbd.CH--CH.dbd.CH--] is dissolved in aqueous phase, shows an excellent immunoregulatory activity in animals including human being.
