The present invention relates to shark-like chondroitin sulfate and a process for preparing the same. In particular, the present invention relates to shark-like chondroitin sulfate, which exhibits very small amounts of 4-sulfate, high charge density and biological activity comparable to natural chondroitin sulfate, and the present invention is also superior in substantially higher productivity and product quality. A method of making said shark-like chondroitin sulfate that provides reproducibility. Shark-like chondroitin sulfates of the present invention may be characterized by high molecular mass and charge density, comparable to those of natural products, potentially making this polysaccharide as a drug in pharmaceutical formulations and medicinal products; Its in vitro biological and anti-inflammatory efficacy. |
