Sulfated glycofuranans as inhibitors of melanoma lung metastasis

Abstract: Chemically synthesized (1 --+ 5)-fi-D-glucofuranan, (1 ~ 5)-fl-D-galactofuranan, (1 ~ 5)-fl-Dxylofuranan, (1 --+ 5)-a-I.-arabinofuranan, natural xylan, and curdlan were sulfated to investigate their inhibitory activities on B16-BL6 lung metastasis and anticoagulant activities. (1 --+ 5)-fl-I>Glucofuranan sulfate, (1 -~ 5)-fi-Dgalactofuranan sulfate, xylan sulfate, and curdlan sulfate had binding abilities with B16-BL6 melanoma lysate. The inhibitory activities of sulfated polysaccharides on B 16-BL6 lung metas… Show more

“…[8] Thus, a variety of unconventional properties can be expected especially concerning the biological activity as already found for sulfated polysaccharides, e.g., curdlan-and shizophyllan sulfuric acid half esters, which are among the most promising drugs with anti-HIV and cancerostatic activities. [9][10][11] Experimental Part…”

“…Cellulose has broad potential to designing more advanced polymeric materials such as liquid crystalline polymers (Harkness and Gray 1990), welldefined multilayered assemblies (Shaub et al 1993), selective membranes (Hoenich and Stamp 2000), sensor matrixes (Tiller et al 1999), recognition devices (Kubota et al 2001), organic-inorganic complex materials (Hanemann and Ballauff 1997), bioactive and biocompatible materials (Kamitakahara et al 2002) because of its specific structure; strictly linear (1 fi 4)-b-glucan structure and three reactive hydroxyl groups per anhydro glucose unit . One of the interesting attempts is to introduce hydrophobic side chains onto cellulose to yield an amphiphilic polymer that may possibly form a stable monolayer at the air/water interface (Kawaguchi et al 1985).…”

“…Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer and is important as a biodegradable and renewable organic material. Functionalized cellulose has several attractive material properties, such as gelation properties, liquid‐crystalline properties, chiral recognition ability, anticoagulant and metastasis inhibition activities, and antitumor activity 14–18. Wegner and coworkers19, 20 reported the preparation of LB films of trimethylsilylcellulose and the in situ conversion of the thin films on substrates to films of pure cellulose.…”
