Carbohydrate derivatives

The invention relates to a carbohydrate derivative having formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is (1-4C)alkoxy; R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are independently (1-4C)alkoxy or OSO.sub.3.sup.-, the total number of sulfate groups is 4, 5, or 6; and the twisted lines represent bonds either above or below the plane of the six-membered ring to which they are attached; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compounds of the invention have antithrombotic activity and may be used for treating or preventing thrombosis and for inhibiting smooth muscle cell proliferation.
