Arabinofuranosides constitute one of the important components of cell wall structures of mycobacteria. With this importance of arabinofuranosides in mind, alkyl glycosides bearing arabinofuranoside trisaccharides were prepared, wherein the sugars were presented either in the monovalent or bivalent forms. Following the synthesis, the monovalent and bivalent alkyl glycosides were tested for their activities in a mycobacterial growth assay. The growth of the mycobacterial strain M. smegmatis was assessed in the presence of the alkyl glycosides and it was realized that the alkyl glycosides acted as inhibitors of the mycobacterial growth. The inhibition of the growth, caused by the above alkyl glycosides, was not observed for the arabinofuranose trisaccharide alone, without the alkyl groups, and for an alkyl glycoside bearing maltose as the sugar component.

呋喃糖苷是分枝杆菌细胞壁结构的重要组成部分之一。考虑到阿拉伯
呋喃糖苷的这种重要性,我们制备了含有阿拉伯
呋喃糖苷三糖的烷基糖苷,其中的糖以一价或二价形式存在。合成后,在分枝杆菌生长试验中测试了单价和二价烷基糖苷的活性。在有烷基苷存在的情况下,对霉菌菌株 M. smegmatis 的生长进行了评估,结果发现烷基苷对霉菌的生长起到了抑制作用。上述烷基糖苷对生长的抑制作用,在单独的阿拉伯
