Steryl-{62 -D-glucoside esters and method of preparation

摘要

Steryl-6-0-palmitoyl- beta -D-glucosides are anti-inflammatory agents. The compounds, of which beta -sitosteryl-6-0-palmitoyl- beta -D-glucoside is a representative embodiment, are prepared through the reaction of a steryl-6-0-sulfonyl- beta -D-glucoside with an alkali metal salt of palmitic acid.
