##STR1##
wherein R is H, CH3, C2H5, R1, is H, NH2,
OH, COOH, X is N-Acetyl Glucosamine, mannose, galactose and sialic acid, fructose,
ribulose, erythrolose, xylulose, psicose, sorbose, tagatose, glucopyranose, fructofuranose,
deoxyribose, galactosamine, sucrose, lactose, isomaltose, maltose, cellobiose,
cellulose and amylose, Y is H, COOH, OH or NH2, and n is from 3 to 50. The present
invention also relates to synthesis of such oligomeric ligands. The method of synthesis
of the present invention for oligomerization can be—applied to other ligands
such as sialic acid, mannose and galactose and can -be used for the prevention
of infections.
