Properties of fucoidans beneficial to oral healthcare
Odontology, 2019Fucoidans are sulfated polysaccharides that are found in marine algae and have many useful activities, including antitumor effects, promotion of apoptosis of cancer cells, and antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antiallergic actions. In oral medicine, several case reports have shown that fucoidan-containing creams and tablets markedly improved recurrent ...

Drug Discovery Today
Fucoidan, a polysaccharide from seaweed, holds promise as a drug delivery system and immune modulator; however, its exact mechanism of action remains unclear. As various carbohydrates play key roles in immune responses by binding to carbohydrate-binding proteins like lectins, fucoidan is hypothesized to interact with immune receptors, potentially ...

Fucoidan in future applications – an industrial perspective
2020Fucoidan is a sulphated biopolymer present in brown seaweeds and some other marine organisms. Current commercial fucoidan grades are derived from brown seaweeds, and their structure is dependent on seaweed source. The importance of structure will depend on type of application. With applications potentially[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]

Opportunities and challenges of fucoidan for tumors therapy
Carbohydrate PolymersThe large-scale collections, screening and discovery of biologically active and pharmacologically significant marine-derived natural products have garnered tremendous attraction. Edible brown algae are rich in fucoidan. Importantly, fucoidan has been reported to inhibit carcinogenesis and metastasis mainly through the regulation of deregulated cell ...

The fate of fucoidan in the ocean
Rising carbon dioxide levels and the goals of the Paris Agreement have intensified the focus on carbon removal strategies. Blue carbon ecosystems, including mangroves, salt marshes, seagrass meadows and macroalgae are key to carbon sequestration due to their ability to store large amounts of carbon in their biomass.openaire +1 more source
