Stephane Quideau and his team synthesise ellagitannin natural products. Bernd Nidetzky and colleagues tell us about the biosynthesis and applications of Glycosides as compatible solutes. Scott A. Snyder and co-workers look at different synthetic approaches to oligomeric natural products. Antonio Salatino‘s team talk about propolis, a honeybee product, composed mainly of wax and resins.
Vincent Ferrieres and his team review recent discoveries performed in the field of glycans and related glycoconjugates that have demonstrated immunomodulatory activities. Huimin Gao and coworkers describe bufadienolides and their antitumor activity and last but not least, Andrei V. Nikolaev and his team look at synthetic glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors.
