Abstract
For the investigation of the minimal structural requirements for cytokine induction, Staphylococcus aureus lipoteichoic acid derivatives with two, three, four, and five glycerophosphate backbone moieties, carrying each a d-alanyl residue, were needed. Based on two different glycerophosphate building blocks and 6b-O-phosphitylated gentiobiosyl diacylglycerol the desired target molecules (compounds 1-4) could be readily obtained and provided for biological studies.
