A mycolic acid-containing glycolipid, trehalose 2,3,6'-trimycolate, prepared from a non-pathogenic acid-fast bacterium Gordona aurantiaca, was shown to induce strong tumoricidal activity in peritoneal exudate cells by intravenous or intraperitoneal injection of liposome-encapsulated preparations. The mycolic acid derivative containing a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids rendered macrophages cytotoxic against syngeneic mastocytoma cells in the absence of endotoxin, for over 14 days… CONTINUE READING
