In this study, chemical transformations of benzyl ester of О-(phenyl-2-acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-1-thio-β-d-glucopyranoside-3-yl)-d-lactoyl-l-alanyl-d-isoglutamine (SPhMDPOBn) on the fumed silica surface were examined, and the surface complex structure was characterized by temperature-programmed desorption mass spectrometry (TPD-MS), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and electrospray ion trap mass spectrometry (ES IT MS). Stages of pyrolysis of SPhMDPOBn in pristine state and on the silica surface have been determined. Probably, hydrogen-bonded complex forms between silanol surface groups and the C = O group of the acetamide moiety NH-(CH3)-C = O…H-O-Si≡.

Phenyl, p-tolyl, and p-tert-butylphenyl beta-1-thio-N-acetylglucosaminides were synthesized by the treatment of thiophenols with peracetate of alpha-D-glucosaminyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine or under the conditions of phase-transfer catalysis with quaternary ammonium salts. The compounds synthesized were used for obtaining of glycosides of 4,6-O-isopropylidene-N-acetylmuramic acid, which were coupled with L-Ala-D-Glu(NH2)-OBzl and then deprotected to obtain the target aryl beta-thioglycosides of N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (MDP). The aryl beta-thioglycosides of MDP were found to stimulate an antibacterial resistance toward Staphylococcus aureus in mice.

Symmetric secondary linear alcohols were proposed as aglycones for the synthesis of lipophilic beta-glycosides of N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (MDP). Pentadecan-8-ol, nonadecan-10-ol, and tricosan-12-ol were glycosylated by the oxazoline method. Based on the corresponding glucosaminides, alkyl beta-glycosides of 4,6-O-isopropylidene-N-acetylmuramic acid were synthesized and coupled with the dipeptide.

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 (MDP) were synthesized. The starting beta-D-glucosaminides were obtained by the oxazoline method, and the corresponding alpha-isomers, by the mercuric iodide-catalyzed glycosylation of alcohols with alpha-glucosaminyl chloride peracetate in nitromethane at -90 degrees C. No reliable differences between the stimulation of mouse resistance to the infection with Staphylococcus aureus (doses of 2, 20, and 200 microg/mouse) and Escherichia coli (doses of 0.

The following glycosides of N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (MDP) were synthesized: beta-4-tert-butylcyclohexyl MDP, beta-2-(adamant-1-yl)ethyl MDP, beta-2,2-diphenylethyl MDP, and 3-2-(p-biphenyl)ethyl MDP. The starting peracetylated beta-N-acetylglucosaminides were prepared by the oxazoline method. They were converted into 4,6-O-isopropylidene-N-acetyl-D-muramic acids, which were coupled with L-Ala-D-Glu(NH2)OBn.
