Properties
Description
DPG-modified chondroitin sulfate (DPG-CS) incorporates dipalmitoyl glycerol moieties, enhancing lipid solubility for transdermal delivery 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→120 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-dipalmitoyl glycerol can be used for its potential to design dual-lipid conjugated systems for enhanced drug retention in liposomes.
