Abstract
The present invention relates to glycoconjugates of camptothecin derivatives in which at least one carbohydrate component is linked via suitable spacers with the A or B ring of a camptothecin derivative. The invention furthermore relates to processes for preparing the compounds according to the invention and to their use as medicaments, in particular in connection with cancer.
