フコイダン 化学特性,用途語,生産方法
説明
Fucoidan is a polysaccharide largely made up of l-fucose and sulfate groups. Fucoidan is favorable worldwide, especially amongst the food and pharmaceutical industry as a consequence of its promising therapeutic effects. Its applaudable biological functions are ascribed to its unique biological structure. Classical bioactivities associated with fucoidan include anti-oxidant, anti-tumor, anti-coagulant, anti-thrombotic, immunoregulatory, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory effects.
化学的特性
This fucoidan is a fucan sulphate occurring in brown marine algae (Phaeophyta), typically Laminaria japonica, and has been shown to have anti-coagulant activity. The fucose content of this fucan is approx. 34.1% and it also contains galactose (approx. 4.0%), uronic acid (approx. 14.5%) and sulphate (approx. 31.7%).
使用
Fucoidan is a water-soluble polysaccharide; it gives highly viscous solutions. The most important application of fucoidan is in food – fucoidan containing food and supplements are very popular on the Japanese market. Raw fucoidan materials are also used for cosmetics because the product is directly adsorbed by the human skin with the following effects: whitening, preserving moisture, removing freckles.Fucoidan has also important medical applications. The higher the sulfation, the higher its therapeutic potential. The role of fucoidan is as modulator of coagulation, as an alternative to the anticoagulant heparin, and many other biological activities such as anti-inflammation, anticell proliferation, and antiadhesion and antiviral infection, as fertilizer, anticoagulant, antitumor, antiviral agents. In addition, they act as ligands for selectins, protect gastric mucosa against proteolytic activity of gastric juice, block mammalian fertilization, etc.
一般的な説明
polysaccharide, consists predominantly of sulfated L-fucose
生物活性
Fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus is a polysaccharide composed predominantly of sulfated fucose. It has been proposed to have antitumor and antiangogenic activities in vitro. This compound it is commonly found in many of the brown Heterokontophyta algae species. It is found in the edible seaweed Undaria Pinnatifida and also found in most Fucus species.
