Abstract

A new class of fully synthetic shell cleavable multivalent polysulfates is prepared by introducing degradable linkers into a stable biocompatible dendritic polyglycerol scaffold and subsequent sulfation. The sulfated polymers show different degradation profiles, low anticoagulant and high anti-inflammatory properties, are able to efficiently bind to L-selectin and inhibit the complement activation at very low concentrations in vitro.
