α-Mycolic acid (C80)
α-Mycolic acid (C80) is a structural lipid component of mycobacterial cell wall. α-Mycolic acid (C80) can be isolated from Mycobacterium tuberculosis Canetti. α-Mycolic acid (C80) significantly modulates membrane permeability and stability, promising for mycobacterium tuberculosis infection research[1].
