J. Tschakert et W. Voelter, SOLID-PHASE SYNTHESIS OF MURAMYL DIPEPTID E DERIVATIVES AND INVESTIGATIONS ON THEIR BIOLOGICAL-ACTIVITIES, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 49(5), 1994, pp. 702-716
New muramyl dipeptide derivatives with exchanged carbohydrate residues
are described. Each derivative is synthesized via a solid phase synth
esis using an aminomethyl anchor resin. All synthetic products can be
isolated in good yields. Their biological activities are tested by the
luminol-dependent chemiluminescence associated with the phagocytosis
of opsonized zymosan by granulocytes.
