Description

General description

Dermatan sulfate is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan structurally related to heparin, found in animal connective tissues. It plays a role in anticoagulation and cellular signaling. The USP standard is used to characterize dermatan sulfate content and identity in complex glycosaminoglycan mixtures.

The USP biologics carbohydrates category includes a variety of carbohydrate-based substances that are essential in the development and manufacturing of therapeutic products. These carbohydrates play crucial roles in biological processes and are often utilized as excipients, stabilizers, or active ingredients in pharmaceuticals. The USP provides comprehensive standards, reference materials, and analytical procedures to ensure the identity, quality, purity, and consistency of carbohydrate therapeutics throughout their lifecycle.

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) provides quality standards for biologics to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout the manufacturing process. These standards assist manufacturers in adhering to regulatory requirements and help safeguard public health by reducing risks associated with biologics.

Dermatan sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) that is mainly located in the skin and is also found in various mammalian tissues. It is made up of repeating units of N-acetyl-d-galactosamine (GalNAc) and l-iduronic acid (IdoA). Dermatan sulfate interacts with proteoglycans and plays a role in regulating several biological activities, including coagulation, angiogenesis, tumor migration, and growth factor expression.
