Properties
Description
Palmitic acid-anchored chondroitin sulfate (C16-CS) integrates long-chain fatty acids through ester bonds, enhancing hydrophobicity while preserving chondroitin's inherent biocompatibility for lipid-rich environments.
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→106 linked)
