A chemoenzymatic approach, mimicking the biosynthetic pathway of heparin and heparan sulfate (HS), has been well developed to prepare a series of structurally well-defined heparin oligosaccharides with excellent anticoagulant activity in good overall yields. The current chemoenzymatic synthesis typically begins with an unnatural glycosyl acceptor, p-nitrophenyl glucuronide (GlcA-PNP), which is convenient for detection recovery and purification, although it affords heparin molecules with undesirable structure characteristics. Herein, we describe a facile chemoenzymatic strategy assisted by the specific cleavage of heparinase III for the highly efficient synthesis of an unmodified heparin heptasaccharide which demonstrated potent anticoagulant activity in vitro and commensurate pharmacokinetic profiles with fondaparinux. This successful generic strategy is applicable to the scalable synthesis of diverse HS/heparin molecules with completely natural structural features as promising therapeutic agents.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009844 Oligosaccharides Carbohydrates consisting of between two (DISACCHARIDES) and ten MONOSACCHARIDES connected by either an alpha- or beta-glycosidic link. They are found throughout nature in both the free and bound form. Oligosaccharide
D006493 Heparin A highly acidic mucopolysaccharide formed of equal parts of sulfated D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with sulfaminic bridges. The molecular weight ranges from six to twenty thousand. Heparin occurs in and is obtained from liver, lung, mast cells, etc., of vertebrates. Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts. Heparinic Acid,alpha-Heparin,Heparin Sodium,Liquaemin,Sodium Heparin,Unfractionated Heparin,Heparin, Sodium,Heparin, Unfractionated,alpha Heparin
D006495 Heparin, Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin fractions with a molecular weight usually between 4000 and 6000 kD. These low-molecular-weight fractions are effective antithrombotic agents. Their administration reduces the risk of hemorrhage, they have a longer half-life, and their platelet interactions are reduced in comparison to unfractionated heparin. They also provide an effective prophylaxis against postoperative major pulmonary embolism. LMWH,Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin,Low Molecular Weight Heparin,Heparin, Low Molecular Weight
