Inhibitory effects of fucan sulfates on enzymatic hydrolysis of starch
Abstract The effect of fucoidan and its oversulfated derivative on starch digestibility was investigated by determining the enzymatic reaction kinetics and their inhibitory activity against α-amylase and amyloglucosidase. After the α-amylase hydrolysis, the produced reducing sugars of the buckwheat starch (BW, 2.0–3.0 g/100 mL) and those of the ...

Inhibition of reverse transcriptase activity of HIV by polysaccharides of brown algae
Brown algae have two kinds of acid polysaccharides present in the extracellular matrix: sulfated fucan and alginic acid. We have previously isolated and characterized fucans from several species of brown seaweed.

Fucana ativa via das Map quinases e inibe a proliferação de células de ovário de hamster chinês (CHO) [PDF]
Fucan is a term used to denominate L-fucose rich sulfated polysaccharides. The fucans have been studied due their pharmacological activities like antithrombotic, antiproliferative and antioxidant.

Análise toxicológica in vitro e in vivo de uma fucana antitrombótica da alga marrom Spatoglossum schdöederi [PDF]
Fucan is a term used to denominate a family of sulfated polysaccharides rich in L-fucose. They are extracted mainly from the extracellular matrix of brown algae and echinoderms. The brown alga Spatoglossum schröederi (Dictyotaceae) has three heterofucans

Draft genome of the brown alga, Nemacystus decipiens, Onna-1 strain: Fusion of genes involved in the sulfated fucan biosynthesis pathway [PDF]
The brown alga, Nemacystus decipiens ("ito-mozuku" in Japanese), is one of the major edible seaweeds, cultivated principally in Okinawa, Japan. N. decipiens is also a significant source of fucoidan, which has various physiological activities.
