Abstract: Reaction of hyaluronan (HA) with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) yielded a water-soluble polysaccharide with 40 % of modified HA carboxyl groups. 1H and 13C NMR measurements revealed that hyaluronan contained EDC bound by a nonspecific acylurea-type linkage. A test with testicular hyaluronidase showed that the modified hyyaluronan was resistant to enzymic degradation.
