โฆ Synopsis
A key disaccharide unit in heparin, O-(2-deoxy-2-sulfamido-6-O-sulfo-a-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1---.4)-2-O-sulfo-Ot-L-idopyranosyluronic acid, was previously found to be responsible for the binding interaction of heparin to platelets. A clustering effect to enhance the binding was found to be dependent on the number and frequency of the disaccharide units in a heparin molecule. To systematically examine the clustering effect, three oligomermodel compounds containing two or three units of the disacchaxide were synthesized. These compounds inhibited 3H-labelled heparin binding to human platelets more strongly than a compound containing only one unit of the disaccharide.
