Properties
Description
Phenylboronic acid-modified chondroitin sulfate (PBA-chondroitin sulfate) incorporates pH-responsive boronate ester linkages, enabling dynamic molecular interactions while maintaining chondroitin's inherent tissue-regenerative properties.
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→12 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-phenylboronic acid can be used for its potential to investigate boronic acid-functionalized systems for glucose-responsive release.
