Abstract 1-α-Monophosphate ( 2 ), 4′-monophosphate ( 3 ), and 1-α, 4′-diphosphate ( 4 ) of 6-0-(2-deoxy-2-tetradecanoylamino-6-0-tetradecanoyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl) -2-deoxy-2-tetradecanoylamino-3, 4-di -0-tetradecanoyl-D-glucopyranose were prepared in order to elucidate the role of phosphate moieties in endotoxic activity of lipid A.

Abstract A synthetic route was established to construct the proposed structure of lipid A which consists of β (1–6) glucosamine disaccharide 1,4′-diphosphate O,N-acylated with (R)-3-hydroxy- or (R)-3-acyloxytetradecanoic acid.

Abstract 6- O -(2-Deoxy-2-myristoylamino-6- O -myristoyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-2-myristoylamino-3,4-di- O -myristoyl-D-glucopyranose ( 2 ) was prepared in a synthetic approach to lipid A which is the active center of bacterial endotoxin.

In 1959, we isolated the cell walls of tubercle bacilli (BCG) which have long been known to have a strong immunoadjuvant activity, especially in the stimulation of cell-mediated immune responses, and elucidated the chemical and immunological properties of this cell wall fraction (32, 31). The most remarkable finding on the chemical composition of this subcellular fraction was that various lipids, especially ethanol-ether insoluble but chloroform-soluble lipids and bound lipids, which characterized tubercle bacilli were almost exclusively localized in their cell walls. It was also demonstrated that the cell walls were the most active fraction of subcellular components isolated from sonicated BCG cells, in inducing tuberculin hypersensitivity in guinea pigs and that the cell walls were involved in the development of an acquired cell-mediated resistance of mice to tuberculous infection.

Abstract Long-chain acyl derivatives of the disaccharide dipeptide, which is a common building unit of bacterial cell walls, were synthesized in order to test their immunostimulating activity.
