A new type of nonionic surface-active agents containing sugars as the
hydrophilic group were synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobi
al activity. Methyl 6-deoxy-3-O-dodecyl-6-halo-D-glucopyranoside deriv
atives showed powerful antimicrobial activity, but no significant diff
erences were observed on the activity with regard to the kinds of anom
ers as well as halogen atoms.
