Abstract
Heparin is a polypharmacological agent with anticoagulant activity. Periodate oxidation of the nonsulfated glucuronic acid residue results in non-anticoagulant heparin derivative (NACH) of reduced molecular weight. Similar treatment of a low molecular weight heparin, dalteparin, also removes its anticoagulant activity, affording a second heparin derivative (D-NACH). A full structural characterization of these two derivatives reveals their structural differences. SPR studies display their ability to bind to several important heparin-binding proteins, suggesting potential new therapeutic applications.
