[Display omitted] • Two fractions (A and C) of GAGs from porcine jejunum and duodenum were purified. • A is a heparan sulfate, and C is composed of β- d -GlcA-(1 → 4) and β- d -GalNAc-(1 → 3). • They possessed controllable anti-coagulant activity in vitro. • Additional sulfate modification enhanced the effect. To make full use of the porcine sources and develop better choice of novel GAGs as anti-coagulants, two fractions of GAGs from the porcine jejunum (A) and duodenum (C) have been separated & purified. The products were further sulfated to give B and D in order to test the influence of sulfate pattern on the bioactivity. The results showed that the relative molecular weight range of A was 3000–50,000 (Mw, g/mol), whereas C had an average molecular weight of 75,885 (Mw, g/mol). A was identified as a novel heparan sulfate through enzymatic hydrolysis analysis. C was a chondroitin like polysaccharide mainly composed of β - d -GlcA-(1 → 4) and β - d -GalNAc-(1 → 3). A possessed controllable anti-coagulant activity (7 IU/mg) in vitro. The activity of D almost achieved the same magnitude of A. This study demonstrated the anticoagulant potential of the polysaccharides, providing solid foundation for development of anti-coagulants from porcine intestine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
