Effects of carboxyl group on the anticoagulant activity of oxidized carrageenans

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2019
In this paper, carrageenans having distinct sulfation patterns (κ-, ι-, ι/ν-, θ- and λ-carrageenans), were fully or partially oxidized at C-6 of the β-d-Galp units using 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) and trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) in

Carrageenans-Sulfated Polysaccharides from Red Seaweeds as Matrices for the Inclusion of Echinochrome

Marine Drugs, 2017
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.
