What is Potential health benefits of fucoidan from the brown seaweeds Sargassum plagiophyllum and Sargassum polycystum about?
Fucoidan from brown seaweed has been proposed as a potential therapeutic due to its properties. Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide and has been shown to have several biological activities, including antibacterial, antiviral, and anticoagulant. In this study, fucoidan was extracted from Sargassum plagiophyllum, Sargassum aquifolium, and Sargassum polycystum collected from southern Thailand. Fucoidan from S. plagiophyllum and S. polycystum was obtained in significantly higher yields (3.6-fold) than that obtained from S. aquifolium. Fucoidan from the former two seaweed species with higher fucoidan contents was evaluated for its potential benefits. The fucoidan extracted from S. plagiophyllum and S. polycystum contained both sulfate and glucuronic acid conjugates at approximately 28.0% and 7.7% of the fucoidan content and 33.5% and 12.8% of the fucoidan content, respectively. In addition, fucoidan extracted from both S. plagiophyllum and S. polycystum had antioxidant activity and suppressed tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) production from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activated macrophages. Interestingly, the half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC 50 values) of fucoidan in the bre
