The carbohydrates are involved in many important biological processes such as cell recognition and cell adhesion. They are presented as a cell surface glycoconjugates, creating a characteristic layer, which surrounds the eukaryotic cell and are called glycocalyx. There is a basic molecular complex of glycocalyx which presents the class of specialized proteins called lectins. To investigate the carbohydrate-protein interactions, synthetic glycosides and glycomimetics as modulators and inhibitors of molecular recognition processes have been used. The present report deals with carbohydrate derivatives, glycolipids and neoglycoconjugates with potential antiadhesion, antiviral, antibacterial, and antitumor activities.
