The appearance multi-drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) throughout the world has prompted a search for new, safer and more active agents against tuberculosis. Based on studies of the biosynthesis of mycobacterial cell wall polysaccharides, octyl 5-O-(α-D-arabinofuranosyl)-α-D-arabinofuranoside analogues were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors for M. tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium. A cell free assay system has been used for the evaluation of these disaccharides as substrates for mycobacterial arabinosyltransferase activity.

A mild, efficient and inexpensive detritylation method is reported that uses trifluoroacetic acid on a silica gel column to obtain pure, detritylated compounds in one-step. This method is applicable to acid stable as well as acid sensitive compounds with only slight alterations in the procedure. Nineteen examples are given.
