• -HIV abacavir and lamivudine ester prodrug candidates is described. The effects of multimerization of the HIV drug derivatives on biocompatible and water-dispersible glyconanomaterials have been tested. The drugs were released from the glyconanoparticles in acidic conditions and were able to inhibit
