K. Dzierzbicka et al., SYNTHESIS OF MURAMYL DIPEPTIDE CONJUGATED WITH ACRIDINE-DERIVATIVES, SHOWING ANTI-HIV-1 AND ANTICANCER ACTIVITY, Polish Journal of Chemistry, 68(1), 1994, pp. 37-45
A series of analogues of N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (MDP)
conjugated at position 6 of the carbohydrate residue with some acridi
ne derivatives were synthesized as potential anti-HIV-1 and/or antican
cer agents. Preliminary screening data indicate that some of them (4a,
4d and 3e) exhibit anti-HIV-1 activity and some others, including the
most active compound 3c, act as antitumor agents.
