New 1-O-arginyl-glycerol ester derivatives, useful as antimicrobials with high surfactant activity and adjustable properties

摘要

1-O-arginyl-glycerol ester derivatives (I) are new. Surfactants (I) of the 1-O-L-arginyl ester 3-O-monoacyl (or 2,3-O-diacyl) glyceride type has formula (I); R1 = acetyl or hydrogen; R2 and R3 = hydrogen or a linear (preferably long) saturated or unsaturated chain; X is not defined. Preferably, R2 and R3 may be linear chains of 8-10, 12, 14, 16 or 18 carbons, saturated or unsaturated, or their mixtures. An Independent claim is also included for chemical or enzymatic synthesis of (I).
