Abstract: Glycopeptides are considered as a class of natural products which are responsible for a great variety of molecular recognition processes on the cellular surface including fertilization, pathogen-cell adhesion and the inflammatory response., It appears that the interactions of glycopeptides with their respective ligands is in general mediated by their carbohydrate epitopes. These glycosidic moieties exhibit a great diversity and very complex structures which makes their synthesis an almost arduous task.
