Anionic Conjugates of Glycosylated Bacterial Metabolite

摘要

The invention relates to anionic conjugates of glycosylated bacterial metabolites that may be used to mimic the structure and/or activity of the anionic bioactive molecules known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The invention also relates to processes for the preparation of the conjugates. Such conjugates are useful in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of disease conditions and in particular chronic disease conditions such as inflammatory (including allergic) diseases, metastatic cancers and infection by pathogenic agents including bacteria, viruses or parasites.
