Polysaccharide Constituents of Three Types of Sea Urchin Shells and Their Anti-Inflammatory Activities

Abstract: As a source of potent anti-inflammatory traditional medicines, the quantitative chromatographic fingerprints of sea urchin shell polysaccharides were well established via pre-column derivatization high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Based on the quantitative results, the content of fucose and glucose could be used as preliminary distinguishing indicators among three sea urchin shell species. Besides, the anti-inflammatory activities of the polysaccharides from sea urchin shells and their go… Show more

“…Sea urchins are renewable marine species, which are commercially harvested and processed in the food industry and cosmetics, and have a great potential for the development of medicines. All parts of these unique organisms including the body wall, gonads, coelomic fluid, and internal organs show a high medicinal value [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8].…”

“…Korean researchers showed the anti‐diabetic effect of powdered sea urchin shells on type 2 diabetic rats . Minerals from the shells can be used for replacing and reconstruction of damaged or defective hard tissue; polysaccharides from the shells possess an anti‐inflammatory effect; and proteins from the shells and spines demonstrate antitumour activity . Secondary metabolites specific to sea urchins – polyhydroxynaphthoquinones (PHNQs) – also exhibit a wide range of pharmacological activities.…”

“…Some families such as Diadematidae, Echinothuriidae, and Toxopneustidae contain venoms (Thiel and Watling 2015). The main MNPs of sea urchins are proteins, polysaccharides, and pigments, which are located in the spines, testes, gonads, and/or pedicellaria (Shang et al 2014;Jiao et al 2015). Studies on their MNPs have mainly focused on proteins derived from naphthoquinone pigments that showed antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities.…”
