6‐Amino‐6‐deoxy‐(1→3)‐β‐ D ‐curdlan sulfate was synthesized in three steps. First, curdlan was azidized by lithium azide (LiN 3 ) and carbon tetrabromide (CBr 4 ) with triphenylphosphine (Ph 3 P) in dimethylformamide (DMF). Second, the azido group was reduced to an amino group with sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 ) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to afford 6‐amino‐6‐deoxy‐(1→3)‐β‐ D ‐curdlan. Third, sulfation of the amino‐group‐containing curdlan with a sulfur trioxide‐pyridine complex produced a 6‐amino‐6‐deoxy‐(1→3)‐β‐ D ‐curdlan sufate exhibiting high anti‐HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) activity (EC 50 = 0.912 µg/ml) and low cytotoxicity (CC 50 = 2512 µg/ml).
