Properties
Description
ICG-conjugated chondroitin sulfate (ICG-CS) covalently links indocyanine green via carbodiimide crosslinkers, combining near-infrared imaging capabilities with chondroitin's biodistribution.
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→114 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-indocyanine green can be used for its potential to enhance photodynamic therapy research via photosensitizer conjugation.
