| Application: | Fucoidan from Undaria pinnatifida has been used to assess its antimicrobial potential in vitro. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Studies of fucoidan have found it to have a broad variety of biological activities including antitumor and antiangogenic activities, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antithrombotic, and antioxidant activities. Fucoidan induces macrophage activation which subsequently activates mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and results in natural killer cell proliferation. Fucoidan acts as a nonselective selectin blocker and has been shown to induce apoptosis and suppress angiogenesis. |
| General description: | Fucoidan has a complex chemical composition. It contains mannose, galactose, glucose, xylose and other monosaccharides. It is also composed of uronic acids, acetyl groups and protein. |
| General description: | Fucoidan is a fucose-rich, sulfated polysaccharide isolated from several species of brown seaweed. |
