D-Glucosamine-6-sulfate is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan. It activates the glmS ribozyme from B. subtilis, a Gram-positive bacterium, when used at a concentration of 200 μM. It has been used to form polyvalent dendrimer conjugates that inhibit angiogenesis and endothelial cell proliferation induced by FGF-2 in vitro and prevent scar tissue formation in a rabbit model of glaucoma surgery.
Ioxaglic acid (P-286) is a negatively charged contrast agent commonly utilized as an inverse indicator for glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in computed tomography (CT). This compound is valuable for imaging human osteoarthritic cartilage, enabling the quantitative assessment of glycosaminoglycan content.
Hyaluronan-binding peptide, biotin labeled 是通过 C 端 GGGSK 残基生物素化的透明质酸结合肽,能够干预 HA 与 CD44 受体的作用,并阻碍 T 细胞增殖。 HA 在细胞外基质和细胞表面广泛表达,参与多种生物过程,包括受精、胚胎发育、伤口修复、血管新生、炎症反应和肿瘤转移。
