The structures of major muramyl peptides derived from peptidoglycan of the oral pathogen Streptococcus sanguis were determined and the biological activity of the peptides was tested in vitro on human monocytes. The muramyl peptides, produced by muramidase digestion of the puriÐed peptidoglycan, were
The ability of liposomes containing a lipophilic muramyl dipeptide, N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglu- tamine-glycerol dipalmitate, to induce Kupffer cell tumoricidal activity has been investigated. Liposomal Nacetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine-glycerol dipalmitate was 16-fold more potent than li
