Abstract:
Glycolipids of Mycobacterium leprae obtained from armadillo tissue nodules infected with the bacteria were analyzed. Mass spectrometric analysis of the glycolipids indicated the presence of trehalose 6,6′‐dimycolate (TDM) together with trehalose 6‐monomycolate (TMM) and phenolic glycolipid‐I (PGL‐I). The analysis showed that M. leprae ‐derived TDM and TMM possessed both α‐ and keto‐mycolates centering at C78 in the former and at C81 or 83 in the latter subclasses, respectively. For the first time, MALDI‐TOF mass analyses showed the presence of TDM in M. leprae .
