Heparinase I acts on a synthetic heparin pentasaccharide corresponding to the antithrombin III binding site.
A synthetic pentasaccharide, containing an intact antithrombin III (ATIII) binding site that is in clinical studies a specific antifactor Xa agent, serves as a substrate for a heparin lyase (heparinase I, EC 4.2.2.7) from Flavobacterium heparinum. Heparinase I, currently being assessed as a heparin reversal agent, also reverses the antifactor Xa activity of this synthetic pentasaccharide by bre...
متن کاملLessons learned from the contamination of heparin.
Heparin is unique as one of the oldest drugs currently still in widespread clinical use as an anticoagulant, a natural product, one of the first biopolymeric drugs, and one of the few carbohydrate drugs. Recently, certain batches of heparin have been associated with anaphylactoid-type reactions, some leading to hypotension and death. These reactions were traced to contamination with a semi-synt...

متن کاملSynthetic elastin hydrogels that are coblended with heparin display substantial swelling, increased porosity, and improved cell penetration.
Synthetic elastin hydrogels are useful tissue engineering scaffolds because they present cell binding sequences and display physical performance similar to that of human elastic tissue. Small pores and a low porosity can limit cellular penetration into elastin scaffolds. To overcome this problem, glycosaminoglycans were coblended with tropoelastin during the formation of synthetic elastin hydro...

متن کاملSynthesis of amine-functionalized heparin oligosaccharides for the investigation of carbohydrate-protein interactions in microtiter plates.
The synthesis of well-defined oligosaccharides is crucial for the establishment of structure-activity relationships for specific sequences of heparin, contributing to the understanding of the biological role of this polysaccharide. It is highly convenient that the synthetic oligosaccharides contain an orthogonal functional group that allows selective conjugation of the probes and expands their ...
