The present invention is directed to synthetic hexasaccharide mimics of
heparin having formula (I) wherein: R1 is selected from the group consisting of NH2, NHSO3 -, NHAc; R2 is selected from the group consisting of H, SO3 -, Bn, 2-Naphthylmethyl, preferably H; R3 is selected from the group consisting of H, Ac, SO3 -; R4 is CO2 -; R5 is Me, Et, C3-C30 linear or branched
alkyl, optionally comprising one or more isolated or fused rings, PEG-OMe; R6 is selected from the group consisting of H, Ac, SO3 -; R is a C10-C30 linear or branched
alkyl optionally comprising one or more isolated or fused rings. In another embodiment, the invention is directed to the use as a
drug of hexasaccharides having the above formula, wherein R, R1, R2, R3, R4 and R6 have the above defined meaning, while R5 is selected from the group consisting of Me, Et, C3-C30 linear or branched
alkyl, optionally comprising isolated or fused rings, PEG-OMe.
