Process for the synthesis of semisynthetic glycosaminoglycans containig alpha-L-galacturonic acid substituted with nucleophilic radicals in position 3.

摘要

A process for the synthesis of semi-synthetic glycosaminoglycans of general formula III <CHEM> is described in which one of the saccharide units characteristic of glycosaminoglycans with heparin or heparan structure, more specifically that of alpha -L-iduronic-2-O-sulfate acid, has undergone a structural modification, entirely or in part, with transformation into alpha -L-galacturonic acid substituted in position 3 with nucleophilic radicals of general formula II <CHEM> Said process is carried out by treating glycosaminoglycans with heparin or heparan structure by means of a nucleophilic reagent in alkaline medium.
