BIODEGRADABLE GLUCOSAMINEMURAMYL PEPTIDES FOR APOPTOSIS MODULATION

摘要

The endopeptidase hydrolysis of cross link peptide bond of the peptidoglycans results in release of the novel glucosaminemuramyl tri, tetra, penta, hexa, and octapeptides. Their structure is defined by specific endopeptidase cleavage as well as genus of gram positive bacteria. They are potent cytoprotective agents capable of inhibiting of TNF alpha cytotoxicity.
