Sulfated Hexasaccharides Attenuate Metastasis by Inhibition of P-selectin and Heparanase

Development of compounds that target both heparanase and selectins is emerging as a promising approach for cancer therapy. Selectins are vascular cell adhesion molecules that mediate tumor cell interactions with platelets, leukocytes, and the vascular endothelium. Heparanase is an endoglycosidase t...
