This book contains original papers and reviews on carbohydrate research in medicine, authored by participants of the 29th International Carbohydrate Symposium, where this topic had a special emphasis. The focus on biological events involving carbohydrates and glycoconjugates has delivered reliable approaches for disease treatment and diagnosis. Research on carbohydrate-based compounds for therapeutic applications is illustrated in various contributions, namely those covering the development of novel agents against Alzheimer’s disease, e.g. the neuroprotective C-glucosylated flavones and the isonucleoside-based cholinesterase inhibitors. New imino sugar glucosidase inhibitors are also disclosed, a class of compounds with potential for diabetes, Gaucher disease or cancer treatment. Also the development of a useful synthetic method towards multivalent glycoclusters of biomedical interest is here highlighted. The relevance of glycomimetics in drug discovery and the progress on carbohydrates in early diagnosis and cancer treatment are reviewed. Noteworthy is the chitosan-based delivery system for drug oral administration, a new biomaterial-based approach to improve bioavailability. Another study on the conformation of Streptococcus capsular polysaccharide backbones by molecular modelling provides useful information for bacterial immunotherapeutic approaches. All original contributions and reviews clearly demonstrate the potential of glycosciences for innovation in medicinal (glyco)chemistry and pharmaceutical research....

The Carbohydrates: Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physiology is a 15-chapter text that covers the significant developments in the biochemical and physiological aspects of the carbohydrates. The first two chapters explore the structure, stereochemistry, occurrence, properties, and synthesis of monosaccharides. Considerable chapters are devoted to the chemical aspects of various classes of carbohydrates, including esters, glycosides, acetals, polyols, acidic carbohydrates, ethers, nitrogenous derivatives, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and glycosidases. The discussion then shifts to the qualitative and quantitative determination of carbohydrates, as well as their photosynthesis and metabolism. The final chapters focus on the important role of carbohydrates in nutrition and in dental aspects. This work will be of value to chemists, biochemists, industrialists, biologists, histochemists, students, and medical and dental research workers....

Historically, most of the research into carbohydrates as functional ingredients focused on the improvement of appearance, taste, mouth-feel, and stability. The growing interest in functional foods, however, is demanding a critical look at the beneficial nonnutritive effects of carbohydrates on human health. Furthermore, there is a need to establish...

This book provides the "nuts and bolts" background for a successful study of carbohydrates - the essential molecules that not only give you energy, but are an integral part of many biological processes.A question often asked is 'Why do carbohydrate chemistry?' The answer is simple: It is fundamental to a study of biology. Carbohydrates are the building blocks of life and enable biological processes to take place.Therefore the book will provide a taste for the subject of glycobiology.Covering the basics of carbohydrates and then the chemistry and reactions of carbohydrates this book will enable a chemist to gain essential knowledge that will enable them to move smoothly into the worlds of biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology. Includes perspective from new co-author Spencer Williams, who enhances coverage of the connection between carbohydrates and life Describes the basic chemistry and biology of carbohydrates Reviews the concepts, synthesis, reactions, and biology of carbohydrates...

The Carbohydrates: Chemistry and Biochemistry, Second Edition, Volume IIB is a complete revision of a previous work that was based on “The Chemistry of the Carbohydrates . This volume is composed of 10 chapters that cover the chemical and biochemical aspects of the main types of carbohydrates. This book begins with considerable chapters on the main types of carbohydrates, including starch, glycogen, pectins, plant gums, plant, algal, and microbial polysaccharides, as well as monosaccharides. These chapters specifically tackle the occurrence, isolation, production, properties, and reactions of these carbohydrates. This volume includes chapters on the fields of glycolipids and glycoproteins. The concluding chapters cover the official nomenclature rules for carbohydrates and for enzymes having carbohydrates as substrates. This volume is of great value to carbohydrates scientists and researchers....
