Sulfated Alkyl Glucopyranans with Potent Antiviral Activity Synthesized by Ring-Opening Copolymerization of Anhydroglucose and Alkyl Anhydroglucose Monomers by Shiming Bai, Davaanyam Budragchaa, Shuqin Han, Taisei Kanamoto, Hideki Nakashima, Takashi Yoshida

“…The interaction with poly-l-lysine as a model compound of proteins was analyzed by SPR, DSL, and zeta potential, indicating that the sulfated 3-O-octadecyl glucopyranans had high association and low dissociation rate constants, and the particle size increased after addition of poly-l-lysine. The anti-HIV activity was induced by electrostatic interaction between sulfate groups and amino groups of poly-l-lysine and by the synergistic effect of the hydrophobic long alkyl chain and hydrophilic sulfated group.…”
