Properties
Description
Cholesterol-grafted chondroitin sulfate (cholesterol-CS) integrates sterol molecules through ester bonds, modulating membrane fluidity in lipid bilayer systems.
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→134 linked)
Source
Chemical synthesis
Functional Group
Cholesterol
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-cholesterol can be used for its potential to investigate cholesterol incorporation effects on micelle pharmacokinetics.
