Popis: Fragments of mycobacterial cell walls such as arabinoglycerol mycolate and dimycoloyl diarabinoglycerol, comprising complex mixtures of mycolic acids, have immunostimulatory and antigenic properties. A related di-mycoloyl tri-arabinofuranosyl glycerol fragment has been isolated from cell wall hydrolysates. An effective stereoselective synthesis of tri-arabinofuranosyl glycerol, followed by coupling with stereochemically defined mycolic acids of different structural classes, to provide unique di-mycoloyl tri-arabinofuranosyl glycerols is now described.
