Control of inflammation using appropriate anti-inflammatory agent prevents wound from becoming chronic. Heparin is a heterogeneous mixture of polysaccharide molecules with a mean molecular weight between 12-30 kDa containing 200-300 disaccharide units of glycosaminoglycan chains. Chemical modifications leading to generation of a unique pentasaccharide sequence effectively reduces its anticoagualant activity, while retaining its anti-inflammmatory property. In this study, Standard heparin was partially desulfated to 2, 3 desulfated heparin (2, 3 DSH) and its anti-inflammatory property was determined by assessing its ability to prevent static adhesion of leukocytes to endothelium and clotting assay. The effectiveness of 2, 3 DSH to down regulate E-selectin and key proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1beta and IL-6) was assessed by western blot and immunocytochemistry. These results were compared with commercially available 2-Desulfated Heparin (2DSH) and standard heparin (SH). Finally, a controlled delivery system of 2, 3 DSH was designed using chitosan microspheres and collagen as scaffold. Optimal loading of 2, 3 DSH was achieved and the release kinetics were tuned to follow a controlled release pattern. The steady state concentration of 2, 3 DSH was found to be optimal to elicit anti-inflammatory property and could achieve inhibition of E-selectin expression while unaffecting the normal clotting cascade.
