Saccharopeptides and methods of using the novel saccharopeptides are described having the following structural formula I:W-[-Y-W-]m(I)wherein W is independently one or more saccharide(s); Y is independently -CO-NH- or -NH-CO-; and m is an integer greater than or equal to one; or structural formula II:W-Y-[W-X-W-Y]n-W(II)wherein W is independently one or more saccharide(s); S is a difunctional or polyfunctional alkyl, aryl or aralkyl group, lipid, amino acid or peptide capable of covalently joining together said saccharides; Y is independently -CO-NH- or -NH-CO-; and n is an integer greater than or equal to zero; or formula III:W-Y1-X1-Y2-W(III)wherein W is independently one or more saccharide(s); X1 is a difunctional or polyfunctional alkyl, aryl or aralkyl group capable of covalently joining together said saccharides; Y1 is -NH-CO-; and Y2 is -CO-NH-. |
