Medical Gains of Chondroitin Sulfate Upon Fucosylation

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2015
Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composed of alternating N-acetyl galactosamine and glucuronic acid units within disaccharide building blocks. CS is a key functional component in proteoglycans of cartilaginous tissues. Owing to its numerous biological roles, CS is widely explored in the pharmaceutical market as nutraceutical ...

Synthesis and anticoagulation studies of “short-armed” fucosylated chondroitin sulfate glycoclusters

Carbohydrate Research, 2018
Fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (FuCS) is a structurally complex glycosaminoglycan found in sea cucumbers with a wide spectrum of biological activities, among which anticoagulant activity is particularly attractive for the development of alternative anticoagulant drugs with decreased adverse effects and risks of bleeding.

Modulating the degree of fucosylation of fucosylated chondroitin sulfate enhances heparin cofactor II-dependent thrombin inhibition

European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2018
Fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (FCS), an unusual glycosaminoglycan with fucose side chains, is a promising anticoagulant agent. To assess the effect of its structure on anticoagulant activity, its derivatives with various degrees of fucosylation (DF), molecular weights (Mw) and sulfation patterns were prepared and characterized.

Structural analysis of holothurian fucosylated chondroitin sulfates: Degradation versus non-destructive approach

Carbohydrate Research, 2019
Fucosylated chondroitin sulfates (FCS) are unique glycosaminoglycans isolated from the body walls of sea cucumbers (holothuria). These biopolymers are composed of a chondroitin core [→4)-β-d-GlcA-(1 → 3)-β-d-GalNAc-(1→]n bearing fucosyl branches and the sulfate groups. Fucosyl substituents prevent enzymatic degradations of FCS by chondroitinases, which

High affinity of a fucosylated chondroitin sulfate for plasma low density lipoprotein

Atherosclerosis, 1996
Factors that influence the binding of sulfated polysaccharides to plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) were investigated. Among the naturally occurring polysaccharides tested, a fucosylated chondroitin sulfate from an echinoderm exhibited the strongest interaction with LDL. Defucosylation and desulfation totally abolished the interaction with LDL while

Immunomodulatory effects of fucosylated chondroitin sulfate from Stichopus chloronotus on RAW 264.7 cells

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2021
Sea cucumbers were nutritional food and traditional Chinese medicine. In this study, fucosylated chondroitin sulfate from sea cucumber Stichopus chloronotus (fCS-Sc), a potential anticoagulant agent and immunological adjuvant, was investigated for its immune activation effects on RAW 264.7 macrophage for the first time.

Fucosylated chondroitin sulfates from the sea cucumbers Holothuria tubulosa and Holothuria stellati

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2018
Two polysaccharides HT and HS were isolated from the sea cucumbers Holothuria tubulosa and Holothuria stellati, respectively. Purification of the natural polymers was performed by consecutive ion-exchange and gel permeation chromatography. The molar ratio of the monosaccharides and sulfate GlcA:GalNAc:Fuc:SO3Na was determined as 12:14:17:57 for HT and ...

Two different fucosylated chondroitin sulfates: Structural elucidation, stimulating hematopoiesis and immune-enhancing effects

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2020
Two fucosylated chondroitin sulfates FCShp and FCSht were isolated from the sea cucumber Holothuria polii and Holothuria tubulosa, respectively. The NMR spectroscopy and HILIC-FTMS methods were applied for their detailed structural characterization. Chemical analysis indicated that the two FCSs all contained a chondroitin sulfate backbone chondroitin ...

Effects of oversulfated and fucosylated chondroitin sulfates on coagulation

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2010
SummaryWe report the effects of a chemically oversulfated chondroitin sulfate and a naturally fucosylated chondroitin sulfate on the coagulation system. The former has been recently identified as a contaminant of heparin preparations and the latter has been proposed as an alternative anticoagulant.

New insight on the structural diversity of holothurian fucosylated chondroitin sulfates

Pure and Applied Chemistry, 2019
Abstract Fucosylated chondroitin sulfates (FCS) are unique glycosaminoglycans isolated from body walls of sea cucumbers (holothuria). These biopolymers are composed of a chondroitin core [→4)-β-D-GlcA-(1→3)-β-D-GalNAc-(1→]n bearing fucosyl branches and sulfate groups.
