Fucanomics and Galactanomics: Marine Distribution, Medicinal Impact, Conceptions, and Challenges

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2012
Glycomics turned out to be a very extensive project where its subdivision is consequently emerging. This is seen by the growing number of terminologies used to define subprojects concerning particular classes of bioactive carbohydrates.

Comparative Study of Sulfated Polysaccharides From Ulva Lactuca Grown in Tunisia and Morocco: in Vitro Antioxidant Activity and in Vivo Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Ulcer Effects. [PDF]

open access: yesChem Biodivers
ABSTRACT This study presents a comparative analysis of sulfated polysaccharides extracted from Ulva lactuca collected in Tunisia (PSUT) and Morocco (PSUM). FTIR confirmed the presence of sulfate groups, while GC‐MS identified diverse sugar components. Both polysaccharides showed strong antioxidant activity, with DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging rates ...

Image_1_Jasmonates disrupt carrageenan synthesis during carposporogenesis in the red seaweed Grateloupia imbricata.png

open access: yes, 2023
In this study, we monitored changes in cell wall sulfated galactans in the red seaweed Grateloupia imbricata after the rapid (48 h) induction of cystocarp maturation and carpospore development by the volatile hormone methyl jasmonate (MEJA). Synthesis of

Specific sulfation and glycosylation - a structural combination for the anticoagulation of marine carbohydrates

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014
Based on considered achievements of the last 25 years, specific combinations of sulfation patterns and glycosylation types have been proved to be key structural players for the anticoagulant activity of certain marine glycans.

Isolation of Sulfated Galactan from Codium fragile and Its Antiviral Effect

open access: yesBiological 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.

Charge distribution and calcium affinity of sulfated alpha-L-galactans from ascidians. Comparison between linear and highly branched polymers

open access: yes, 1998
Calcium binding and charge distribution on highly branched and linear sulfated L-galactans from ascidians have been studied using a metallochromic indicator and conductimetric titrations.

Sulfated Polysaccharide Extracted from the Green Algae Codium bernabei: Physicochemical Characterization and Antioxidant, Anticoagulant and Antitumor Activity

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2022
Codium bernabei is a green alga that grows on Chilean coasts. The composition of its structural polysaccharides is still unknown. Hence, the aim of this work is to isolate and characterize the hot water extracted polysaccharide fractions.

Applications of Biomaterials in Separators for Secondary Batteries

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
In this review, biomaterial‐based separators are reviewed as sustainable alternatives to conventional polyolefin‐based separators. For 12 different natural polymers, spanning from Protista, Plantae, and Animalia, viable strategies for synthesizing biomass‐based separators are described.

Sulfated galactans from red seaweed Gracilaria fisheri target epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and inhibit cholangiocarcinoma cells (CCA) proliferation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is increasing in incidence worldwide and is resistant to chemotherapeutic agents, making treatment of CCA a major challenge. Previous studies reported that natural sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) disrupted growth factor receptor ...

Anticoagulant properties of a crude sulfated polysaccharide from the red marine alga Halymenia floresia (Clemente) C. Agardh - doi: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v33i3.6402

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2011
Alternative sources of anticoagulants have arisen as a result of the increasing demand for safer anticoagulant clinical therapy, and the sulfated polysaccharides of seaweeds have gained attention in biomedicine.
