 | | The glycopeptide antibiotics are further categorized into various subclasses depending on the identity and interconnections of the amino acids comprising the peptide backbone and the number and substitution pattern of the sugar residues in the molecule. |
 | | [0056] A "glycosyl donor" is a sugar or glycosidic residue that bears an anomeric leaving group, preferably a sulfoxide, which may be activated to render the anomeric carbon susceptible to reaction with a nucleophile to displace the activated group, thereby forming a glycosidic bond. |
 | | Most preferably, Y is a single bond and X is NR.sub.1 or S, i.e., a substituted amino or thio group is attached to the C-6 position of the hexose. |
