title: Antiproliferative effects of peracetylated naphthoxylosides.
abstract: The antiproliferative activity, and the capability of priming of glycosaminoglycan chains, of two series of peracetylated mono- and bis-xylosylated dihydroxynaphthalenes have been investigated for normal HFL-1 cells, as well as transformed T24 cells, and compared to the unprotected analogs. Our data show increased antiproliferative activity upon peracetylation, but a loss of selectivity towards T24 cells.
