Synthesis and Biological Aspects of Mycolic Acids: An Important Target Against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Synthesis and Biological Aspects of Mycolic Acids: An Important Target Against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Mycolic acids are an important class of compounds, basically found in the cell walls of a group of bacteria known as mycolata taxon, exemplified by the most famous bacteria of this group, the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb.), the agent responsible for the disease known as tuberculosis (TB). Mycol...
