Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1958 Methylation of methyl 2-hexadecyl-3-hydroxyeicosanate and methyl 2-tetracosyl-3-hydroxyoctacosanate was examined. 2-Tetracosyl-3-methoxyoctacosanoic acid was obtained from this reaction followed by chlorination of its product, but not 2-hexadecyl-3-methoxyeicosanoic acid.

Novel phage display-derived mycolic acid-specific antibodies with potential for tuberculosis diagnosis[S] [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2013 Tuberculosis is a major cause of mortality and morbidity due to infectious disease. However, current clinical diagnostic methodologies such as PCR, sputum culture, or smear microscopy are not ideal.

The Reductase That Catalyzes Mycolic Motif Synthesis Is Required for Efficient Attachment of Mycolic Acids to Arabinogalactan [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2007 Mycolic acids are essential components of the cell walls of bacteria belonging to the suborder Corynebacterineae, including the important human pathogens Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae. Mycolic acid biosynthesis is complex and the target of several frontline antimycobacterial drugs.

PLoS ONE, 2012 Mycolic acid-producing bacteria isolated from the respiratory tract of human and non-human mammals were recently assigned as a distinct genus, Segniliparus, because they diverge from rhodococci and mycobacteria in genetic and chemical features.
