General description

S-Acetylmercaptosuccinic anhydride is an amine reactive reagent, containing a sulfhydryl group. The anhydride region opens up, when attacked by an amine nucleophile, forming amine linkage. However, during this ring opening reaction, a free carboxylate group is formed rendering the molecule negatively charged. Activity to proteins and conformation of the molecule us affected by the charge reversal.

Hyaluronan (HA) derivatives containing thiol-reactive electrophilic esters were prepared to react with thiol-modified macromolecules to give cross-linker-free hydrogels. Specifically, HA was converted to two haloacetate derivatives, HA bromoacetate (HABA) and HA iodoacetate (HAIA). In cytotoxicity assays, these reactive macromolecules predictably
