Sulfated cellulose thin films with antithrombin affinity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cellulose thin films were chemically modified by in situ sulfation to produce surfaces with anticoagulant characteristics. Two celluloses differing in their degree of polymerization (DP): CEL I (DP 215–240) and CEL II (DP 1300–1400) were tethered to maleic anhydride copolymer (MA) layers and subsequently exposed to SO3·NMe3 solutions at elevated temperature. The impact of the resulting sulfation on the physicochemical properties of the cellulose films was investigated with respect to film thickness, atomic composition, wettability and roughness. The sulfation was optimized to gain a maximal surface concentration of sulfate groups. The scavenging of antithrombin (AT) by the surfaces was determined to conclude on their potential anticoagulant properties.

Interaction of antithrombin with sulfated, low molecular weight lignins: opportunities for potent, selective modulation of antithrombin function.
Antithrombin, a major regulator of coagulation and angiogenesis, is known to interact with several natural sulfated polysaccharides. Previously, we prepared sulfated low molecular weight variants of natural lignins, called sulfated dehydrogenation polymers (DHPs) (Henry, B. L., Monien, B. H., Bock, P. E., and Desai, U. R. (2007) J. Biol. Chem. 282, 31891-31899), which have now been found to exh...
متن کاملThe antithrombin-binding sequence of heparin.
Products obtained by partial depolymerization of pig mucosal heparin with nitrous acid were fractionated by affinity chromatography on immobilized antithrombin. A high affinity octasaccharide fraction was recovered and reduced with sodium [3H]borohydride, yielding terminal 2,5-anhydro-~-[l-~H]mannitol residues. Partial N-desulfation of this material by treatment with aqueous dimethylsulfoxide r...
متن کاملExploring new non-sugar sulfated molecules as activators of antithrombin.
New non-sugar, small, sulfated molecules, based on our de novo rationally designed activator (-)-epicatechin sulfate (ECS), were investigated to bind and activate antithrombin, an inhibitor of plasma coagulation enzyme factor Xa. For the activators studied, the equilibrium dissociation constant (K(D)) of the interaction with plasma antithrombin varies nearly 53-fold, with the highest affinity o...

Recently, we designed (-)-epicatechin sulfate (ECS), the first small nonsaccharide molecule, as an activator of antithrombin for the accelerated inhibition of factor Xa, a key proteinase of the coagulation cascade (Gunnarsson, G. T.; Desai, U. R. J. Med. Chem. 2002, 45, 1233-1243). Although sulfated flavanoid ECS was found to bind antithrombin with an affinity ( approximately 10.7 microM) compa...
متن کاملAn unusual antithrombin-binding heparin octasaccharide with an additional 3-O-sulfated glucosamine in the active pentasaccharide sequence.
The 3-O-sulfation of N-sulfated glucosamine is the last event in the biosynthesis of heparin/heparan sulfate, giving rise to the antithrombin-binding pentasaccharide sequence AGA*IA, which is largely associated with the antithrombotic activity of these molecules. The aim of the present study was the structural and biochemical characterization of a previously unreported AGA*IA*-containing octasa...
