シアル酸研究への道筋 立体化学と創薬 Stereochemistry of Sialic Acids, and their deivatives GLYCOLIPOID The 2nd International Meeting of Sialic Acids Society, October 13, 1986 In essence, “sialic acid derivatives possess a harmonious shape and good balance between two opposing hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts, meaning that they should display various kinds of potentially unique and possibly conflicting physiological activities (glycolipoids)”. Consequently, there are good omens that unprecedented ‘miracle’ medicines could be developed from sialic acid derivatives.
