Abstract

A series of arabino glycosyl triazoles with varying hydrophobic groups were synthesised as putative mimics of decaprenolphosphoarabinose (DPA) as potential inhibitors of mycobacterial cell wall biosynthesis. Biological testing against Mycobacterium bovis BCG revealed low to moderate anti-mycobacterial activity, with strong dependence on the identity of the hydrophobic side chain.
