multi-drug resistant Mycobacteriumtuberculosis (MTB) throughout the world has prompted a search for new, safer and more active agents againsttuberculosis. Based on studies of the biosynthesis of mycobacterial cell wall polysaccharides, octyl 5-O-(alpha-D-arabinofuranosyl)-alpha-D-arabinofuranoside analogues were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors for M. tuberculosis and Mycobacteriumavium.
