Abstract

A process for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans with heparin or heparan structure modified in position 2 of the .alpha.-L-iduronic-2-O-sulfate acid in which the sulfate group is, entirely or in part, substituted with a nucleophilic group, is described. The process is carried out by treating glycosaminoglycans having heparin or heparan structure with a nucleophilic reagent in alkaline solution.
