Abstract

Novel glycosylated steroid derivatives for facilitating the transport of compounds across biological membranes, either in admixture or as conjugates, are disclosed. A novel process for efficient synthesis of these glycosylated steroid derivatives, using activated glycosyl sulfoxide intermediates is provided. Methods for the permeabilization of membranes and the enhancement of the activity of predetermined compounds are also provided.
