Isolation of Sulfated Galactan from Codium fragile and Its Antiviral Effect
Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2009 A sulfated galactan (FG) was isolated from the green alga, Codium fragile. Chemical analysis revealed that FG mainly consisted of D-galactose with pyruvic acid (12.3%) and sulfate (11.0%). Methylation and NMR analyses showed that FG was composed of -->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->, beta-D-Galp-(1--> and -->3,6)-beta-D-Galp-(1--> residue.

Sulfated fucans and a sulfated galactan from sea urchins as potent inhibitors of selectin-dependent hematogenous metastasis [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2018 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.
