With the hope of mimicking the chemical and biological properties of natural 6-O-methyl-d- glucose-containing polysaccharides (MGPs), synthetic 6-O-methyl-d-glucose-containing polysaccharides (s MGPs) were designed and synthesized from α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins (CDs). The synthetic route proved to be flexible and general, to furnish a series of s MGPs ranging from 6-mer to 20-mer. A practical and scalable method was discovered selectively ...
