Properties
Description
Polyacetal-chondroitin sulfate graft copolymer is engineered through acetalization reactions, creating acid-degradable bonds between synthetic polymer chains and chondroitin sulfate moieties.
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→25 linked)
Source
Chemical synthesis
Functional Group
Polyacetal
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-polyacetal can be used for its potential to develop acid-degradable polymers for lysosomal drug release.
