In this letter we report a facile chemical conversion of heparin, a potent anticoagulant with minimal antiangiogenic activity, into an effective antiangiogenic glycosaminoglycan through optimized chemical approaches. This work highlights the potential for industrial scale production of a therapeutic anticancer glycosaminoglycan.
在本信函中,我们报告了一种简便的化学方法,可将肝素(一种具有最小抗血管生成活性的强效抗凝剂)通过优化的化学途径转化为一种有效的抗血管生成糖胺聚糖。这项工作突出了治疗性抗癌糖胺聚糖进行工业规模生产的潜力。
