Abstract

Glycosaminoglycans including heparin, heparan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate and hyaluronan were analyzed by high-performance gel filtration chromatography. Detection was achieved at 240 nm based on the formation of copper(II) complex in copper sulfate solution at low pH. Detection of the copper(II)-heparin complex is sensitive, permitting the analysis of as little as 10 −7 g. This method was also successfully applied to the analysis of the chemically derivatized glycosaminoglycans (de-N-acetylated and/or oversulfated chondroitin sulfate) that cannot be depolymerized by enzymes such as heparin and chondroitin lyases.
