Properties
Description
Niacin-conjugated chondroitin sulfate (niacin-CS) links nicotinic acid via ester bonds, leveraging vitamin B3's vasodilatory effects with chondroitin's bioactivity.
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→140 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-niacin can be used for its potential to investigate niacin conjugation effects on macrophage polarization pathways.
