CAS 37300-21-3

Xylan sulfate

Description:

Xylan sulfate, with the CAS number 37300-21-3, is a sulfated polysaccharide derived from xylan, a hemicellulose component found in plant cell walls, particularly in hardwoods and some grasses. This compound is characterized by its complex structure, which consists of a backbone of xylose sugar units that are sulfated at various positions. Xylan sulfate exhibits water solubility due to its sulfate groups, which enhance its interaction with water molecules. It is known for its potential biological activities, including anticoagulant properties, which make it of interest in pharmaceutical and biomedical research. Additionally, xylan sulfate may play a role in various biochemical processes, including cell signaling and modulation of immune responses. Its applications extend to food, cosmetics, and other industries where natural polysaccharides are utilized. However, the specific properties, such as molecular weight and degree of sulfation, can vary depending on the source and method of extraction, influencing its functional characteristics and applications.

Pentosan polysulfate

CAS: 37300-21-3

Pentosan polysulfate is a semi-synthetic polysaccharide, which is derived from xylan, sourced from beechwood hemicellulose. It functions as a heparin-like compound with anticoagulant and fibrinolytic properties. Its sulfated polysaccharide form allows it to adhere to the urothelium of the bladder, forming a protective layer that can prevent irritating solutes in urine from reaching bladder cells. Through this mechanism, it mitigates the pain and discomfort associated with interstitial cystitis (IC), a chronic condition characterized by bladder pain and urinary urgency.
