Glycans are polysaccharides that are involved in various biological pathway, including disease pathways. c-GLYCOSIDES are un-natural analogues of natuarlly according o-glycosides. They are more stable to chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis since the anomeric position is now a carbon substituent. So, they are extensively used as mechanistic probes and potential therapeutics. They have different conformational and receptor binding properties than their O-glycosidic counterpart. In most cases they have higher efficacy and are better drugs like the example show.
