Sulfated fucans and a sulfated galactan from sea urchins as potent inhibitors of selectin-dependent hematogenous metastasis [PDF]
Metastasis is responsible for the majority of cancer-associated deaths, though only a very small number of tumor cells are able to efficiently complete all the steps of that process. Tumor cell survival in the bloodstream is one of the limiting aspects of the metastatic cascade.

Sulfated Polysaccharides in the Freshwater Green Macroalga Cladophora surera Not Linked to Salinity Adaptation [PDF]
The presence of sulfated polysaccharides in cell walls of seaweeds is considered to be a consequence of the physiological adaptation to the high salinity of the marine environment.

Preparation of a sulfated linear (1→4)-β-d-galactan with variable degrees of sulfation
A linear 1,4-β-d-galactan has been prepared by partial acid hydrolysis of the major lupin seed polysaccharide on a preparative scale. The galactan has been characterized by acetylation and methylation analysis, by GPC, as well as by its 1H- and 13C-NMR-spectra. Sulfation with increasing amounts of SO3-pyridine yielded a series of galactan sulfates with

Sulfated galactan from Acanthophora muscoides inhibits adipogenesis via regulating adipogenic transcription factors and AMPK in 3T3-L1 cells [PDF]
Obesity is a global public health issue, closely linked to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Pharmacological interventions for weight loss are one option for treating obesity; however, these drugs often come with side effects or limited ...

Fractionation of sulfated galactan from the red alga Botryocladia occidentalis separates its anticoagulant and anti-SARS-CoV-2 properties. [PDF]
Sulfation pattern and molecular weight (MW) play a key role in the biological actions of sulfated glycans. Besides anticoagulant effects, certain sulfated glycans can also exhibit anti-SARS-CoV-2 properties.

LaPSvS1, a (1→3)-β-galactan sulfate and its effect on angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro
LaPSvS1, a highly sulfated branched (1-->3)-beta-galactan was prepared from the arabino-galactan from Larix decidua Miller by partial hydrolysis and subsequent sulfation with SO(3)-pyridine in DMF. The molecular weight was analyzed by GPC and the sulfate content was determined by ion chromatography.
