Abstract
To improve pharmacokinetic and -dynamic properties of peptidic, bioactive compounds they can be derivatized with carbohydrate building blocks. By incorporation into the peptidic backbone (see for example 1) the conformation of the pharmacophoric moieties can be influenced, while derivatization of side chains (see for example 2) mainly modifies the pharmacokinetic behavior.
