Properties
Description
Lentinan-heparin, identified as heparin-lentinan, forms an anticoagulant-conjugated derivative through sulfated glycosaminoglycan attachment to lentinan's β-glucan structure. The modified polysaccharide preserves triple-helix geometry while combining antithrombotic and antitumor activities via thymic immune stimulation.
Glycan Structure
Its glycan structure is a β-(1→3)-linked d-glucose backbone with β-(1→6)-glucosyl side branches.

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
Lentinan-heparin can be used for its potential to modulate anticoagulant properties through heparin conjugation in blood-compatibility testing.
