• Target: FGFR,Wnt/beta-catenin,Endogenous Metabolite
• Solubility: H2O:100 mg/mL;DMSO:Insoluble

Bioactivity

• Target IC50:
  MCF-10A cells (AR-induced mitogenesis):2 μg/mL|RBD:0.02 μg/mL
• In Vivo:
  METHODS: To assay anti-tumor activity in vivo, Heparan sulfate (0.8 mg/kg) was administered to SCID-hu mice injected with bone marrow aspirates from myeloma patients twice daily, once intraperitoneally and once subcutaneously, for four weeks. RESULTS: Treatment with Heparan sulfate significantly inhibited primary tumor growth in a human severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-hu) myeloma model.

• In Vitro:
  METHODS: Breast cancer cells MDA-MB231 were treated with Heparan sulfate (20 µg/mL) for 24 h and detected by Fluorescence microscopy. RESULTS: Cell spreading was enhanced and the average spreading cell area approximately doubled in the presence of Heparan sulfate. Exogenous Heparan sulfate blocked cell invasion and matrix degradation.
