BENZOPHENONE ALPHA-D-GLYCOPYRANOSIDES, PREPARATION AND THERAPEUTIC USE

摘要

The invention concerns (i) [4-(4-cyanobenzyl)phenyl] alpha -D-glycopyranosides of formula (I) wherein: the group alpha -D-glycopyranosyl R represents a alpha -D-glycopyranosyl, alpha -D-galactopyranosyl, alpha -D-mannopyranosyl, alpha -D-arabinopyranosyl, alpha -D-lyxopyranosyl, or alpha -D-ribopyranosyl group; (ii) their esters resulting from the esterification of at least a OH function of each pyranosyl group with a C2-C4 alkanoic or a cycloalkanoic acid, as novel industrial products. Said novel [4-(4-cyanobenzyl)phenyl] alpha - D-glycopyranosides are useful in therapy for fighting against atheromatous plaque.
