Abstract
A chondroitin sulfate was purified from the body of Viviparus ater (Mollusca gastropoda) and analyzed for molecular mass, constituent disaccharides, and structure by H-1 NMR and H-1 2D NMR. A quite unique glycosaminoglycan species was isolated having a high molecular mass (greater than 45,000) and low charge density, about 0.60, due to the presence of 42% non-sulfated disaccharide, 5% 6-sulfated disaccharide, 48% 4-sulfated disaccharide, and 5% 4,6-disulfated disaccharide. Specimens of Mollusca were also submitted to lead exposure for different times, and the effect on chondroitin sulfate structure was studied. After 96 h treatment a strong decrease in chondroitin sulfate content was observed with a significant modification of its structure producing a more desulfated polymer, in particular in position 4 of the galactosamine unit. Simultaneously, the amount of unsaturated non-sulfated disaccharide increased with an overall decrease of the charge density.Pubblicazioni consigliate
