Abstract:
A new series of gold containing sugars having anti-arthritic activity are characterized by the presence of a bis[(triethylphosphine)aurio]sulfonium salt moiety at the 1-position of the glucopyranoside. The compounds are prepared by reacting a 1-S-triethylphosphinegold-1-thio-glucopyranoside with a triethylphosphinegold halide.
