Abstract
Triantennary cluster glycoside, wherein each glycoside residue is attached to the branching point of the cluster by a spacer of a long, flexible, hydrophilic chain comprising at least 4 atoms in the chain. The glyciside spacer preferably comprises at least two hydrophilic groups. Use of the triantennary cluster glycoside in pharmaceutical preparations, for instance hypolipidemic medicines.
