Properties
Description
HMME-conjugated chondroitin sulfate (HMME-CS) links hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether photosensitizers, enabling combined photodynamic and sonodynamic therapies.
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→136 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-hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether can be used for its potential to develop porphyrin-conjugated probes for singlet oxygen generation studies.
