Properties
Description
Benzaldehyde-modified chondroitin sulfate (benzaldehyde-CS) introduces aromatic aldehyde groups through periodate oxidation, enabling Schiff base formation with amines.
Glycan Name
Chondroitin sulfate
Glycan Structure
The glycan structure of chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composed of repeating disaccharide units. Each unit consists of:
N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc) (β1→4 linked)
D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) (β1→138 linked)
Source
Chemical synthesis
Functional Group
Benzaldehyde
Impurities
No visible impurities to the naked eye.
Solubility
This product is soluble in most organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, DMSO, and THF, and exhibits excellent solubility in water.
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
Chondroitin sulfate-benzaldehyde can be used for its potential to study aldehyde reactivity in covalent crosslinking of injectable hydrogels.
