For extending the uses of a compound represented by Chemical formula 1,
the object of the present invention is to provide a derivative of cyclic
tetrasaccharide whose physicochemical properties are changed from those
of cyclic tetrasaccaride, a composition comprising the same, and a
process for producing the same. The present invention solves the above
object by providing a derivative of cyclic tetrasaccharide, which is
produced by the steps of reacting a compound represented by Chemical
formula 1 with a reactive reagent and substituting one ore more hydroxyl
groups with substituents except hydroxyl group and O-glycosyl group; a
composition comprising the same; and a process for producing the
derivative of cyclic tetrasaccharide. ##STR00001##
