Abstract

In the search for immunoadjuvant active compounds without pyrogenic activity we prepared N-Ac-norMur-L-Abu-D-Gln-O-Bu (V), N-Ac-Mur-L-Abu-D-Gln-O-Bu (VII) and their respective α-benzylglycosides VI and VIII. All the prepared compounds are nonpyrogenic. In the delayed hypersensitivity test, compound V is inactive, VI is comparable to MDP, VII is more and VIII is less active than MDP.
