Characterization of a fucoidan from Lessonia vadosa (Phaeophyta) and its anticoagulant and elicitor properties

The effect of fucoidan from brown seaweed Sargassum wightii on WSSV resistance and immune activity in shrimp Penaeus monodon (Fab)

“…Similarly, Chandıa and Matsuhiro [51] suggested that the IR-spectrum of fucoidan of Lessonia vadosa showed the characteristic band of SeO stretching vibration at 1259 cm À1 and a band at 849.5 cm À1 due to CeOeS vibration which was assigned to sulfate group linked to axial secondary alcoholic group. The asymmetric deformation of OeSeO group absorption at 582.1 cm À1 confirmed the presence of significant amount of sulfate groups.…”

Hypolipidemic effect of fucoidan fromLaminaria japonicain hyperlipidemic rats

“…Acid hydrolysis of FPS and analysis by HPLC showed the presence of fucose (59.85%), together with a smaller amount of arabinose (7.89%) and a trace of rhamnose (0.14%) residues. The highly negative value of the optical rotation [] 25 D = −135.1° (c, 0.5, H 2 O) of the polysaccharide was indicative of the presence of -l-fucopyranosyl residues (Chandía & Matsuhiro, 2008). The 1 H NMR spectrum (not shown) presented two signals ( 5.36 and 5.32) in the -anomeric region.…”

Fucoidan stimulation induces a functional maturation of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells

“…In previous reports, it has been identified that a wide variety of biological activities have been attributed to the fucoidan, including anti-thrombotic [3], inflammatory modulatory [4], anti-viral [5] and anti-tumor [6] activities. Also, it was reported that fucoidan modulates immune cells activity.…”
