Abstract
A method of inhibiting thrombin generation and of inhibiting complement activation by using a dermatan sulfate having at least 2 sulfate groups per disaccharide obtained by chemical sulfation of native dermatan sulfate. The resulting dermatan sulfate having an average molecular weight from about 5000 to 35000 Daltons is characterized by (i) a high content of L-iduronic->4,6-di-O-sulfated N-acetyl-D-galactosamine residues, and (ii) a specific heparin cofactor II-mediated anti-thrombin activity, depending on average molecular weight, between about 25 to 125 U/mg.
