title: Biological activity of anomeric pairs of lipophilic glycosides of N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine.
abstract: We studied the capacity of anomeric pairs of alpha- and beta-dodecyl, alpha- and beta-(1-pentylhexyl), and alpha- and beta-cyclododecyl glycosides of N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (muramyl dipeptide) to stimulate the nonspecific resistance of mice to intraperitoneal infection of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli cultures. Intraperitoneal pretreatment with the test substances in a wide dose range increased survival of infected animals. No differences were found between the biological effects of alpha- and beta-dodecyl and alpha- and beta-(1-pentylhexyl) glycosides of muramyl dipeptide. An inverse relationship was found between stimulatory activity and dose of alpha- and beta-cyclododecyl glycosides of muramyl dipeptide during sepsis caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
