New 1-C-(5-thio-D-xylopyranosyl) derivatives as potential orally active venous antithrombotics.

In the search for new orally active antithrombotic drugs that are metabolically stable, we explored the synthesis of 1-C-(5-thio-D-xylosyl) derivatives, examining radical and nucleophilic methods. Thus synthesized were aryl, benzyl, alkylcarboxymethylenyl, arylsulfonylmethylenyl and alkylaminocarboxymethylenyl C-linked analogues of 5-thio-D-xylopyranosides.
