There is no doubt that glycoside chemistry continues to be a dynamic and exciting field related to organic chemistry. Within sugar chemistry, glycosides are of special interest not only because of the challenges represented by their synthesis and structural characterization, but also due to their important biochemical relevance, and hence their applications in a number of essential disciplines, such as pharmaceuticals, food, and biotechnology. Important biomolecules such as DNA and RNA, or cofactors such as ATP and NAD, are some of the natural glycosidic structures playing key rules at a biochemical level. Also, a considerable number and variety of natural and synthetic glycosides are being extensively used as antibiotics, antiviral, and antineoplasic agents.
