title: [A study of inhibitory effect of chondroitin polysulfate on stone formation of calcium oxalate].
abstract: Chondroitin polysulfate (CPS) have inhibitory activity on stone formation of calcium oxalate. This study compared the inhibitory effect of three CPS (CPS S-I, CPS S-II, CPS S-III) with sodium pentosan polysulfate (SPP) and chondroitin sulfate (CS). Crystal growth inhibition was measured in a seeded crystal growth system with 14C-oxalate, and CPS S-I and CPS S-II were the most active substances inhibiting crystal growth. Since CPS S-II and CPS S-III had remarkable hemorrhagic adverse effect, these two substances were excluded from the following study. The study of administration of the rest of the substances (CPS S-I, SPP, CS) to rats revealed that CPS S-I highly inhibited formation of stone in kidney. About 65 percent of CPS S-I administered subcutaneously was excreted in 24 hours urine. Therefore it may be of value to study clinical usefulness of CPS S-I for treatment of patient with urolithiasis.
