Heparin derived dp4 saccharide ammonium

CAS: 61844-85-7

Heparin is a linear sulphated polysaccharide comprising contiguous disaccharide units of a uronic acid and a derivative of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose. The heparin tetrasaccharide can be obtained from the degradation of heparin with the lyase enzymes isolated from Flavobacterium heparinum, which yields oligosaccharides terminated at the non-reducing end by the unsaturated unit, 4-deoxy-α-L-threo-hex-4-enopyranosyl uronic acid or its 2-0-sulphated derivative. The major product following lyase degradation is the trisulphated derivative DUA-2S + GlcNS-6S (unsaturated disaccharide). Other oligosaccharides such as the tetrasaccharide, illustrated below, can be produced by the lytic degradation of heparin (Moffat, 1991).
