General description
Fucoidan is a fucose-rich, sulfated polysaccharide isolated from several species of brown seaweed.
Application
Fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus has been to:
- study the application of heparin red in detecting fucoidan
- study its bioactivity as an antimicrobial agent
- study its effects on advanced glycation end-products
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 with 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.
