Cas No.129519-27-3 Ethyl 3-o-benzyl-4,6-o-benzylidene-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-beta-d-thioglucopyranoside

The amino group in this compound is protected by phthalimide, allowing it to remain stable during the multi-step process of drug synthesis. In the appropriate steps of drug synthesis, the protective group can be removed, exposing the amino group for the synthesis of biologically active amino carbohydrate drugs. Aminocarbohydrate drugs are commonly used in the development of antibiotics, particularly in antibacterial and antiviral treatments.

Thioglycoside compounds are often used in the development of new drugs due to their stability and unique biological properties. For example, they have potential in antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer treatments. By further modification, the compound can be used to synthesize drugs that are more stable and have improved pharmacological properties.
