Description générale

Fucoidan is a fucose-rich, sulfated polysaccharide isolated from several species of brown seaweed.

Application

Fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus may be used as a biological response modifier and as a potential therapeutic agent with a wide range of biological activities. It may be used to study its pharmacokinetics, safety, efficacy and methods of delivery as a potential anticancer, anti-immune and anti-inflammatory agent. Fucoidan may be used to assess its potential and formulations for tissue engineering applications.

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

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.

Questions

1–6 of 6 Questions  
  1. What is the purity of Product F5631, Fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus?

    1 answer
    1. The F5631 is not tested for purity or to identify possible impurities. It is a crude fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus.

      Helpful?

  2. Is there information about the structure of Product F5631, Fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus?

    1 answer
    1. In general, fucoidin is a branched polymer of L-fucose monosulfate joined predominately by 1,2 linkages. Fucoidin is also known in the literature as fucan. The properties are discussed further by Bernardi and Springer in J. Biol. Chem, 237, 75-80 (1962); the title of the article is "Properties of highly purified fucan".

  3. What is the solubility of Product F5631, Fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus?

    1 answer
    1. The F5631 is water-soluble. It is tested for solublity in water at 10mg/mL; this yields a clear to hazy, yellow to amber solution.

      Helpful?

  4. How does the storage temperature relate to shipping conditions?

    1 answer
    1. The storage conditions that a Sigma-Aldrich catalog and label recommend for products are deliberately conservative. For many products, long-term storage at low temperatures will increase the time during which they are expected to remain in specification and therefore are labeled accordingly. Where short-term storage, shipping time frame, or exposure to conditions other than those recommended for long-term storage will not affect product quality, Sigma-Aldrich will ship at ambient temperature. The products sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than their recommended long-term storage are shipped on wet or dry ice. Ambient temperature shipping helps to control shipping costs for our customers. At any time, our customers can request wet- or dry-ice shipment, but the special handling is at customer expense if our product history indicates that the product is stable for regular shipment.
