Abstract

The diversity-oriented chemical modification of heparin is shown to afford charge-reduced heparin derivatives that possess increased selectivity for binding heparin-binding proteins. Variable N-desulfonation of heparin was employed to afford heparin fractions possessing varied levels of free amine. These N-desulfonated heparin fractions were selectively N- acylated with structurally diverse carboxylic acids using a parallel synthesis protocol to ...
