Description

General description

Oversulfated Chondroitin Sulfate (OSCS) is a known contaminant in heparin products that led to safety concerns globally. This USP standard is used in identity and impurity testing to detect OSCS contamination using NMR or strong anion exchange chromatography.

The USP biologics carbohydrates category includes a variety of carbohydrate-based substances that are essential in the development and manufacturing of therapeutic products. These carbohydrates play crucial roles in biological processes and are often utilized as excipients, stabilizers, or active ingredients in pharmaceuticals. The USP provides comprehensive standards, reference materials, and analytical procedures to ensure the identity, quality, purity, and consistency of carbohydrate therapeutics throughout their lifecycle.

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) provides quality standards for biologics to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout the manufacturing process. These standards assist manufacturers in adhering to regulatory requirements and help safeguard public health by reducing risks associated with biologics.

Oversulfated Chondroitin Sulfate (OSCS) is a prominent contaminant found in heparin that is connected to adverse clinical events. OSCS exhibits plasma anticoagulant activity and the capability to activate prekallikrein to kallikrein.
