Experimental and clinical studies on the effects of synthetic muramyldipeptide derivatives on viral and opportunistic infections.
    Methods and findings in experimental and clinical pharmacology, 1986, Volume: 8, Issue:1

    The efficacy of strearoyl-MDP derivatives, L18-MDP and MDP-Lys-18 against bacterial and viral infections in mice was examined. Both L18-MDP and MDP-Lys-L18 stimulated nonspecifically host-resistance against opportunistic infection with C. kutscheri in hydrocrotisone-treated mice against Sendai virus infection in mice.

Effect of stearoyl-N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine on host resistance to Corynebacterium kutscheri infection in cortisone-treated mice.
    Vaccine, 1984, Volume: 2, Issue:4

    Opportunistic corynebacteriosis was induced successfully by infection with Corynebacterium kutscheri in cortisone-treated mice and the ability of stearoyl-N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine derivatives in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution or encapsulated into liposomes for restoring impaired resistance was examined. 6-O-Stearoyl-N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (L18-MDP) in liposomes and N alpha-acetyl muramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutaminyl-N epsilon-stearoyl-L-lysine (MDP-Lys-L18) both in PBS solution and in liposomes were shown to restore depressed resistance to infection of C. kutscheri when injected intravenously before infection. Treatment with L18-MDP in cortisone-treated mice inhibited growth of C. kutscheri in the liver and kidney for as long as three days after infection.
