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.

We evaluated the anti-tumor activities of the oral administration of fucoidan extracted from Cladosiphon okamuranus using a tumor (colon 26)-bearing mouse model. The materials used included low-molecular-weight fucoidan (LMWF: 6.5-40 kDa), intermediate-molecular-weight fucoidan (IMWF: 110-138 kDa) and high-molecular-weight fucoidan (HMWF:
