Development in Therapeutic importance of most sought marine algal Polysaccharide Fucoidans
نویسنده
چکیده
Fucoidan is the foremost marine polysaccharide having bunch of applications in medicinal field. Research field of fucoidan may increase and developed after the 2k years. It is an algal sulfated polysaccharide extracted from nautical brown seaweed. Fucoidan is the one of the major medicinal source having application in clinical, haematological, and biochemical medicines. Explore about fucoidans degrading enzymes, fucoidanases are the main caption in biological chemistry division now a days. Before 2k also some findings would be done about fucoidan but now a day it gets efficient. This review will search that what all intelligence are given about fucoidan and its applications in clinical research after the years of 2k. Then study deals about the structural characterization, biochemical properties and applications of fucoidans. © 2013 Universal Research Publications. All rights reserved

Compositional Characteristics and In Vitro Evaluations of Antioxidant and Neuroprotective Properties of Crude Extracts of Fucoidan Prepared from Compressional Puffing-Pretreated Sargassum crassifolium
Fucoidan, a fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharide with diverse biological functions, is mainly recovered from brown algae. In this study, we utilized a compressional-puffing process (CPP) to pretreat Sargassum crassifolium (SC) and extracted fucoidans from SC by warm water. Three fucoidan extracts (SC1: puffing at 0 kg/cm²; SC2: puffing at 1.7 kg/cm²; and SC3: puffing at 6.3 kg/cm²) were ob...
متن کاملFucoidans: pro- or antiangiogenic agents?
Sulfated polysaccharides of brown algae (fucoidans) attract great attention due to their high and strongly diversified biological activity. This review summarizes recent data on the structural variability of these polysaccharides and reports their anti- and proangiogenic properties. Recent publications have revealed that fucoidans isolated from different algal species may differ considerably in...

Fucoidans are widespread cost-effective sulfated marine polysaccharides which have raised interest in the scientific community over last decades for their wide spectrum of bioactivities. Unsurprisingly, nanomedicine has grasped these compounds to develop innovative therapeutic and diagnostic nanosystems. The applications of fucoidans in nanomedicine as imaging agents, drug carriers or for their...
متن کاملMarine Polysaccharide Sulfatases
Polysaccharides are the most abundant and the most complex organic molecules in the ocean. In contrast to land polysaccharides, many marine polysaccharides are highly sulfated; in particular, the cell walls of macroalgae harbor a high diversity of sulfated polysaccharides (carrageenans, agarans, fucoidans, ulvans, etc.). These sulfated polysaccharides, biosynthesized by macroalgal primary produ...
متن کاملFucoidan from Macrocystis pyrifera Has Powerful Immune-Modulatory Effects Compared to Three Other Fucoidans
Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide purified from brown algae, has a variety of immune-modulation effects, such as promoting activation of dendritic cells (DCs), natural killer (NK) cells and T cells, and enhancing anti-viral and anti-tumor responses. However, the immune-modulatory effect of fucoidan from different seaweed extracts has not been thoroughly analyzed and compared. We analyzed fuco...
