  • 37 Accesses

Abstract

After the discovery of heparin in 1922 (1) a large series of sulfated polysaccharides was identified in biological systems (2). The biological and pharmacological activities of these compounds, e.g. the anticoagulant effects of heparin, are particularly complex (3). The chemical structures of such polysaccharides are closely related to their actions as confirmed by the identification of clear structure-activity relationships (4). In recent years the development of refined techniques of carbohydrate synthesis (5) opened up the possibility to produce synthetic sulfated oligosaccharides; some of them presenting relevant pharmacological activities (6).
