Glycodendrimers of polypropyletherimine

摘要

Provided is a glycodendrimer comprising: (a) a non-toxic dendrimer polypropyletherimine core supporting on average 9 to 64 terminal carboxylic acid groups, and (b) conjugated to said core 2 to 8 amino sugars or sulphate amino sugars, wherein each sugar is linked directly through a zero length amide bond with a residue of a terminal carboxylic acid group. The glycodendrimers may be used as anti-inflammatories or anti-infectives.
