CS is an unbranched, polydisperse, complex glycosaminoglycan extracted and purified from various tissues. This polyanion is interacting with both plasma and cells, it is able to modulate many biochemical and physiologic processes. Due to the presence of sulfate groups in different amounts and located in various
positions, CS represents a very heterogeneous family of polysaccharides. therefore, the preparative approach and the
analytical techniques are of paramount importance to produce CS with specific structure and properties and of pharmaceutical grade.*Includes recent technologies and methodologies to study and understand the structure and properties of chondroitin sulfate…
