Acylated carbohydrate derivatives, methods of obtaining and uses thereof # The present invention describes acylated carbohydrate derivatives, preferably compounds of formula 2,3,4,6,6'-penta-O-acetyl- {al} , {al} -D-trehalose or 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl- {al}, {al} -D-trehalose, as well as their use as reaction intermediates for the synthesis of Trehalose derivatives or for the elaboration of glycolipid analogs present in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and which are of interest in the pharmaceutical and food industry. The present invention also relates to the method of obtaining the glycolipid analogs present in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is carried out in the presence of an enzyme extract obtainable from a culture of any of the bacterial strains selected from: Bacillus CECT 8464 , Enterobacter CECT 8462, Pseudomonas CECT 8463 and Terribacillus CECT 8231. |
