Structure-activity relationships of synthetic tigogenyl glycosides

Haemolytic activities of the five tigogenyl diglycosides and a maltotrioside were much stronger than those of nine monoglycosides. Among these glycosides, the glucoside, galactoside, maltoside, lactoside, gentiobioside, melibioside and maltotrioside had strong antifungal activity. By contrast, none of these glycosides showed any antibacterial activity.
