Glycosylated derivatives of benzophenone, benzhydrol, and benzhydril as potential venous antithrombotic agents.

A series of glycosylated derivatives of benzophenone, benzhydrol, and benzhydril has been synthesized and evaluated for potential activity as venous antithrombotic agents. Studies on structure-activity relationships revealed that compounds having an electron-withdrawing group in the benzhydril or benzhydrol moiety, and specifically those having the beta-D-xylopyranosyl structure in the sugar moiety, were good antithrombotic agents in a rat model of venous thrombosis.
