Properties
Description
BSA-chondroitin sulfate nanoconstructs are fabricated through EDC/NHS-mediated amidation, effectively conjugating the serum albumin's carrier capacity with chondroitin's cartilage-targeting potential.
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→13 linked)
Source
Chemical synthesis
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-bovine serum albumin can be used for its potential to develop albumin-conjugated complexes for extended plasma circulation times.
