Abstract
Symmetric secondary linear alcohols were proposed as aglycones for the synthesis of lipophilic glycosides of β-N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (MDP). Pentadecan-8-ol, nonadecan-10-ol, and tricosan-12-ol were glycosylated by the oxazoline method. Based on the corresponding glucosaminides, alkyl β-glycosides of 4,6-O-isopropylidene-N-acetylmuramic acid were synthesized and coupled with the dipeptide. Deprotection of isopropylidene groups by acidic hydrolysis and catalytic hydrogenolysis of benzyl esters resulted in the target muramyldipeptide glycosides. Nonadecan-10-yl and tricosan-12-yl β-MDPs at doses 2 μg/mice most effectively stimulated antibacterial resistance in mice against Staphylococcus aureus. In contrast to the previously synthesized undecan-6-yl β-MDP, pentadecan-8-yl, nonadecan-10-yl, and tricosan-12-yl β-MDPs demonstrated direct cytotoxicity toward tumor cells K-562 and blood mononuclear cells.
