The following glycosides of N -acetylmuramyl-L -alanyl-D -isoglutamine (MDP) were synthesized: β -4-tert -butylcyclohexyl MDP, β -2-(adamant-1-yl)ethyl MDP, β -2,2-diphenylethyl MDP, and β -2-( p -biphenyl)ethyl MDP. The starting peracetylated β -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(NH 2 )OBn. The target glycopeptides were obtained after their deprotection. The stimulation of the antiinfection resistance of mice against Staphylococcus aureus by the MDP glycosides was studied.
