Z)-Tetracos-5-enoic acid is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of mycobacterial mycolic acids. Recently the methyl ester of its cyclopropene analogue, methyl 4-(2-octadecylcyclopropcn-l-yl)butanoate, was shown to act as an inhibitor of mycolic acid biosynthesis. The related analogues methyl 5-(2

The high molecular weight 2-alkyl-3-hydroxy mycolic acids are key structural components of the cell envelope of pathogenic mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A prime target for drug action would be the initial stages where the biosynthetic pathways diverge from those of ordinary fatty
