Abstract

Hexyl, octyl, and cyclohexyl β-glycosides and heptyl and cyclohexyl α-glycosides of muramyl dipeptide (MDP) were synthesized. Tests in vitro and in vivo revealed lower immunostimulating activities of MDP α-glycosides in comparison with the corresponding β-glycosides and MDP itself. In the case of alkyl β-glycosides, differences in hydrocarbon chain lengths (C4–C8) and in aglycone (aliphatic chain and aliphatic or aromatic ring) exerted no substantial effect on the immunostimulating activity.
