P. Bourhis et al., SYNTHESIS AND ANTI-THROMBIN ACTIVITY OF A HEXASACCHARIDE CORRESPONDING TO THE BINDING-SITE OF DERMATAN SULFATE TO HEPARIN-COFACTOR-II, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 7(22), 1997, pp. 2843-2846
A new synthetic route is described toward the hexasaccharide represent
ing the heparin cofactor II binding region of dermatan sulfate, The an
ti-thrombin activity of this synthetic hexasaccharide is reported here
for the first time, This compound is about mio hundred times less act
ive than dermatan sulfate itself for its ability to inhibit thrombin v
ia heparin cofactor II. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
