The company GLYCOTEAM GmbH was founded in 2000 by Dr. E. Wieczorek and
Dr. J. Thimm (Managing Director, since 06.2007) .

We are concerned with custom synthesis and custom research as well as production of special and intermediate compounds for pharmaceutical and chemical companies as well as medical facilities. Further, GLYCOTEAM GmbH supports the development of products and the supply of necessary technical information.

GLYCOTEAM GmbH focuses on the synthesis of the following components in milligram to kilogram scale:
carbohydrate compounds; donors for glycosylation (i.e. glycals, thioglycosides, halides, imidates, phosphates), deoxy derivatives, protected sugars, amino sugars and uronic acid derivatives, complex glycoconjugates, oligosaccharides and derivatives, saccharide mimetics, alditols, pseudosugars and heterocycles.

GLYCOTEAM GmbH also offers synthesis of special derivatives with novel and unusual structures, which are not available on the market.

In addition to these activities combinatorial chemistry and parallel synthesis as well as optimization and scale-up of known organic processes are also carried out.

The design of syntheses and literature searches complete the general program of the company.

Finally, GLYCOTEAM GmbH is involved in the import of chemical compounds which are not available on the German market.

Prof. Dr. J. Thiem - Hamburg University is a consultant for GLYCOTEAM GmbH.
