Properties
Description
Lentinan-orthopyridyl disulfide, designated OPSS-lentinan, comprises an innovative bioconjugate merging the immune-regulatory β-1,3-1,6-glucan lentinan with OPSS. The amalgamated molecule utilizes lentinan's triple-helix formation and cancer-controlling capabilities via thymic-mediated immunological stimulation mechanisms.
Glycan Structure
Its glycan structure is a β-(1→3)-linked d-glucose backbone with β-(1→6)-glucosyl side branches.
