Heparin Oligosaccharides

Prepared from high grade heparin (porcine origin) by the action of bacterial Heparinase.

Isolated by high resolution gel filtration.

General formula:
 
∆UA,2S - GlcNS,6S– (IdoA,2S – GlcNS,6S)n - IdoA,2S - GlcNS,6S

Uronic acid (∆UA) at the non-reducing end of the oligosaccharides has a C4-C5 double bond as a result of the endolytic action of bacterial heparinase.

Although the main disaccharide unit in these products is IdoA,2S – GlcNS,6S (approx 75%) saccharides in each size class show some variation in sulfation.
