Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 May 2009
Extract
1. A new series of compounds has been found which markedly inhibits the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. smegmatis.
2. These substances are strongly haemolytic against human red blood cells.
3. The effectiveness of the antibacterial and haemolytic actions depends upon the length of the alkyl chain.
4. The antibacterial and haemolytic actions are reduced by human serum.
