This invention relates to acylated benzylglycosides and a method for their use as smooth muscle cell proliferation inhibitors and as therapeutic compositions for treating diseases and conditions which are characterize by excessive smooth muscle proliferation, such as restenosis. The acylated benzylglycosides of this invention are those of formula I, below: ##STR1## wherein X is ##STR2## R.sup.1 is H, alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, chloro, bromo, or alkoxy having 1 to 6 carbon atoms;

Acylated benzylglycosides as inhibitors of smooth muscle cell

This invention relates to the use of polyanionic benzylglycosides as smooth muscle cell proliferation inhibitors and as therapeutic compositions for treating diseases and conditions which are characterized by excessive smooth muscle proliferation, such as restenosis. The compounds of this invention are those of formula I ##STR1## wherein each of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 are, independently, H, SO.sub.3 M, or ##STR2## and each oligosaccharide group contains 1 to 3 sugar groups; M is lithium, sodium, potassium, or ammonium; n is 1 or 2; X is a halogen, lower alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or lower alkoxy having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; Y is carbonyl or sulfonyl; Z is alkyl from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, ##STR3## and X is as defined above; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
