NOVEL SULFATED SACCHARIDE AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A sulfated saccharide represented by the following general formula: [A]−(6SO3−GlcNAc)−[C]−R wherein (6SO3−GlcNAc) represents a 6−sulfated N−acetylglucosamine residue; [A] represents hydroxy or a saccharide residue; [C] represents a saccharide residue; and R represents hydroxy or substituted hydroxy. The sulfated saccharide effectively bonds to selectin protein which is present in leukocytes and hence has anti−inflammatory activity. It is expected to be widely used in the medicinal field, etc.
