摘要:
A fucoidan fraction consisting Of L-fucose, sulfate, and acetate in a molar proportion of 1:1.21:0.08 was isolated from the brown seaweed Fucus distichus collected from the Barents Sea. The C-13 NMR spectrum of the fraction was typical of regular polysaccharides containing disaccharide repeating units. According to 1D and 2D H-1 and 13 C NMR spectra, the fucoidan molecules are built up of alternating 3-linked alpha-L-fucopyranose 2,4-disulfate and 4-linked alpha-L-fucopyranose 2-sulfate residues: --> 3)-alpha-L-Fucp-(2,4-di-SO3-)-(1 --> 4)-alpha-L-Fucp-(2SO(3)(-))-(1 -->. The regular structure may be only slightly masked by random acetylation and undersulfation of several disaccharide repeating units. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
