The relative activity of each compound is presented as +, ++, +++, and ++++ representing a low (0–30%), medium (30–60%), high (60–90%), or almost complete (90–100%) inhibition of heparanase activity and SMC proliferation, or stimulated release of ECM-bound FGF2 expressed as percentage of the total ECM-bound FGF2. Note: In most cases, this polymerization will result in polymers with different structures and substitution patterns. Only one possible structure is drawn in each case.
