SYNTHESIS OF N‐ACETYL‐MURAMYL‐L‐ALANYL‐D‐ISOGLUTAMINE, AN ADJUVANT OF THE IMMUNE RESPONSE, AND OF SOME N‐ACETYL‐MURAMYL‐PEPTIDE ANALOGS

Abstract

A relatively easy synthetic method is reported for the production of the immunoadjuvant glycopeptide, N-acetyl-muramy-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (MDP). Most of the details in this method were also applied to the preparation of some analogs, that were synthesized in order to study structure-activity relationships.
