Properties
Description
Polyaspartic acid-chondroitin sulfate biodegradable system employs anhydride ring-opening polymerization to create alternating chondroitin and synthetic polymer segments.
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→58 linked)
Source
Chemical synthesis
Functional Group
Poly aspartic acid
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-poly aspartic acid can be used for its potential to engineer threonine-rich domains for mucoadhesive property enhancement.
