Therapeutic importance of sulfated polysaccharides from seaweeds: updating the recent findings
Seaweeds, being prolific sources of bioactive components have garnered unprecedented interest in recent times. The complex polysaccharides from the brown, red and green seaweeds possess broad spectrum therapeutic properties. Especially, the sulfated polysaccharides, viz. fucans, carrageenans and ulvans have exhibited strong antioxidant, antitumor, immunostimulatory, anti-inflammatory, pulmonary...
متن کاملAntioxidant Activity of Sulfated Seaweeds Polysaccharides by Novel Assisted Extraction
Seaweeds have an extremely numerous of species in the world and been able to be divided into several developmental systems. Broadly, three types of seaweeds can be defined according to their color: brown seaweeds, green seaweeds, and red seaweeds. Thousands of years ago, mankind used seaweeds as food and medicine. Seaweed extracts are gaining increasing attention due to their unique composition...
متن کاملSulfated polysaccharides derived from dietary seaweeds increase the esterase activity of a lymphocyte tryptase, granzyme A.
Intake of sulfated polysaccharides, such as fucoidan or lambda-carrageenan extracted from seaweeds, has been shown to enhance immune responses, resulting in inhibition of tumor growth. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which these sulfated compounds mediate the enhancement. In the present study, we examined the effect of sulfated polysaccharides from seaweeds on esterase activity...
متن کاملCarrageenans-Sulfated Polysaccharides from Red Seaweeds as Matrices for the Inclusion of Echinochrome
The possibility of using different types of carrageenans (CRG) as matrixes for incorporating of echinochrome A (Ech) was investigated. Ech interacts with carrageenans and is incorporated into the macromolecular structure of the polysaccharide. The inclusion of Ech in carrageenan matrices decreased its oxidative degradation and improved its solubility. The changing in the charge and morphology o...
متن کاملSynergistic Effects of Sulfated Polysaccharides from Mexican Seaweeds against Measles Virus
Sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) extracted from five seaweed samples collected or cultivated in Mexico (Macrocystis pyrifera, Eisenia arborea, Pelvetia compressa, Ulva intestinalis, and Solieria filiformis) were tested in this study in order to evaluate their effect on measles virus in vitro. All polysaccharides showed antiviral activity (as measured by the reduction of syncytia formation) and lo...
