title: Synthesis and biological activity of D-glucopyranosyl peptide T derivatives.
abstract: The solid phase procedure, based on the Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) chemistry, was used to prepare some peptide T analogues in which D-glucopyranosyl units are beta-O-glycosidically linked to Thr4 and/or Thr5 side chains. All glycopeptides showed significant human monocyte chemotaxis and high resistance to degradation by plasma or brain enzymes.
