Evaluation of Anti-Nociceptive and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of a Heterofucan from Dictyota menstrualis [PDF]
, 2013 Fucan is a term that defines a family of homo-and hetero-polysaccharides containing sulfated L-fucose in its structure. in this work, a heterofucan (F2.0v) from the seaweed, Dictyota menstrualis, was evaluated as an antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory ...

Inhibitory effects of fucan sulfates on enzymatic hydrolysis of starch
LWT - Food Science and Technology, 2011 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 ...

Structural Analysis of Fucoidans
Natural Product Communications, 2008 Sulfated polysaccharides of brown algae (“fucoidans”) constitute a wide variety of biopolymers from simple sulfated fucans up to complex heteropolysaccharides composed of several neutral monosaccharides, uronic acid and sulfate. The increased interest in

Antithrombotics from the Sea: Polysaccharides and Beyond
Marine Drugs, 2019 Marine organisms exhibit some advantages as a renewable source of potential drugs, far beyond chemotherapics. Particularly, the number of marine natural products with antithrombotic activity has increased in the last few years, and reports show a wide ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Permeable sands on continental shelves host microbial communities that drive organic carbon turnover, oxygen fluxes and nitrogen loss. Advective porewater flow associated with sedimentary bedforms maintains these rates and fluxes. Modeling and laboratory studies suggest that advective porewater flow is tightly coupled to bedform stability ...

Microwave-assisted extraction of sulfated polysaccharides(fucoidan)from brown seaweed [PDF]
, 2011 Sulfated polysaccharides (fucoidan) were recovered from brown seaweed Fucus vesiculosus by microwave-assisted extraction (MAE). Different conditions of pressure (30 to 120 psi), extraction time (1 to 31 min), and alga/water ratio (1/25 to 5/25 g ml-1 ...
