✦ Synopsis
Chondroitin 6-sulfate (sodium salt), dermatan sulfate (sodium salt), and their methyl esters were depolymerized into mixtures of methylated, even-numbered oligosaccharides having a 4,5-unsaturated uronic acid, nonreducing end-group, respectively, with excess diazomethane in the presence of a small proportion of water. The methyl ester of chondroitin 6-sulfate was more effectively cleaved than the sodium salt, whereas the methyl ester of dermatan sulfate was depolymerized at a rate slightly higher than the sodium salt. About half of the acetamido group in the depolymerized product of the methyl ester of these polysaccharides was N-methylated.

## Abstract **Summary:** A water‐soluble chitosan (WSC)/chondroitin‐6‐sulfate (ChS) polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) is covalently immobilized onto the surface of poly(3‐hydroxybutyric acid‐__co__‐3‐hydroxyvaleric acid) (PHBV) membranes via ozone‐induced oxidation and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) graft po
The dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) model of colitis has been commonly utilized in mice to assess novel treatments for ulcerative colitis. Recent studies have indicated that morphological and biochemical changes extend to the small intestine (SI). This study aimed to characterize histological and bioch
