Abstract: A method for the preparation of a compound of general Formula: or pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives and salts, racemates, isomers and/or tautomers thereof comprising cyclizing an azomethine ylide of general Formula: wherein, A is a cyclic or non-cyclic group; Z is a carbon or a heteroatom; n is selected from 0, 1, 2 or 3; W, X and Y may be the same or different and each are selected from hydrogen; optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, amino, alkoxy, alkenoxy, alkynoxy, aryl, alkylthio, heterocyclyl; carboxy, carboxy ester, carboxamido, acyl, acyloxy, mercapto, halogen, nitro, sulfate, phosphate, cyano and optionally protected hydroxy; or W and X, together with the nitrogen and carbon atoms to which they are attached, form a saturated or unsaturated nitrogen containing heterocyclic group which may be optionally substituted or optionally fused to a saturated or unsaturated carbocyclic group, aryl group or heterocyclic group is provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of the following formula (I). In these compounds, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted cyclitol with a ring comprising six carbon atoms, or hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, acyl, alkyloxycarbonyl, or alkylaminocarbonyl. At least two of R1, R2, R3 and R4 comprise the substituted or unsubstituted cyclitol. The linker can be any one of the following: —(CH2)w—, —(CH2)x—C6H4—(CH2)x—, —(CH2)y—NR5—(CH2)y—, and —(CH2)z—HCR6—(CH2)z—; wherein: w, x, y and z are independently an integer having a value of 0–10; R5 is a substituted or unsubstituted cyclitol with a ring comprising six carbon atoms; and, R6 is —OH, —OSO3Na, —OSO3Na substituted with alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl, or substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl. The compounds can also include substituted or unsubstituted cyclitol carbamides with the linker bond at the carbamide nitrogen.
