Synthesis and Biological Aspects of Mycolic Acids: An Important Target Against<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>

1 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

Mycolic acids are an important class of compounds, basically found in the cell walls of a group of bacteria known as mycolata taxon, exemplified by the most famous bacteria of this group, the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb.), the agent responsible for the disease known as tuberculosis (TB). Mycolic acids are important for the survival of M. tb. For example, they are able to help fight against hydrophobic drugs...
