Sucrose octasulfate
Sucrose octasulfate, a sulfated oligosaccharide derivative, functions as an inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) . This compound stimulates somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (SLI) release from the stomach by directly targeting D cells in the gastric mucosa. By releasing endogenous gastric somatostatin, sucrose octasulfate promotes ulcer healing. It serves as a pharmaceutical excipient, significantly enhancing wound closure in neuroischemic diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers. Additionally, sucrose octasulfate is applicable in research related to chronic wound healing.
