Hypersulfated disaccharides, preferably octasulfated sucrose, with utility in asthma or asthma related disorders are disclosed. The compounds may optionally be formulated with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or delivery agents. The delivery agents are selected from the group consisting of natural or synthetic polymers, aerosols or other vehicles that facilitate the delivery or administration of the drug. The hypersulfated disaccharides are made from carbohydrate starting materials. Ion exchange or other suitable synthetic processes may be utilized to prepare the pharmaceuticals. The hypersulfated disaccharides are useful as anti-inflammatory agents.本發明揭示在哮喘或哮喘相關之病症方面具有效用之超硫酸化雙醣，較佳為八硫酸化蔗糖。該等化合物可視情況與醫藥學上可接受之賦形劑或傳遞劑一起調配。傳遞劑係選自由促進藥物傳遞或投與之天然或合成聚合物、氣溶膠或其他媒劑組成之群。超硫酸化雙醣由碳水化合物起始物質製得。離子交換或其他適合合成方法可用於製備該等醫藥劑。超硫酸化雙醣適用作消炎劑。
