Chemical modification of glycosaminoglycans. Sulphation of heparan sulphate derivatives obtained by periodate oxidation/borohydride reduction

Two heparan sulphates, of different N- and O-sulphate content and iduronic/ glucuronic acid ratio (HS I and HS II), were submitted to partial periodate oxidation, borohydride reduction and subsequent O-sulphation. The sulphated derivatives showed increased anticoagulant activities by APTT assay and...

Sumario:Two heparan sulphates, of different N- and O-sulphate content and iduronic/ glucuronic acid ratio (HS I and HS II), were submitted to partial periodate oxidation, borohydride reduction and subsequent O-sulphation. The sulphated derivatives showed increased anticoagulant activities by APTT assay and were significantly degraded by heparinase. © 1997 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
