Abstract
Low Molecular Weight Heparins (LMWHs) are well-established for use in the prevention and treatment of thrombotic diseases, and as a substitute for unfractionated heparin (UFH) due to their predictable pharmacokinetics and subcutaneous bioavailability. LMWHs are produced by various depolymerization methods from UFH, resulting in heterogeneous compounds with similar biochemical and pharmacological properties. However, the delicate supply chain of UFH and potential contamination from animal sources require new manufacturing approaches for LMWHs. Various LMWH preparation methods are emerging, such as chemical synthesis, enzymatic or chemical depolymerization and chemoenzymatic synthesis. To establish the sameness of active ingredients in both innovator and generic LMWH products, the Food and Drug Administration has implemented a stringent scientific method of equivalence based on physicochemical properties, heparin source material and depolymerization techniques, disaccharide composition and oligosaccharide mapping, biological and biochemical properties, and in vivo pharmacodynamic profiles. In this review, we discuss currently available LMWHs, potential manufacturing methods, and recent progress for manufacturing quality control of these LMWHs.

Abstract
Seaweed contains a variety of bioactive compounds; the most abundant of them are polysaccharides, which have significant biological and chemical importance. Although algal polysaccharides, especially the sulfated polysaccharides, have great potential in the pharmaceutical, medical and cosmeceutical sectors, the large molecular size often limits their industrial applications. The current study aims to determine the bioactivities of degraded red algal polysaccharides by several in vitro experiments. The molecular weight was determined by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), and the structure was confirmed by FTIR and NMR. In comparison to the original furcellaran, the furcellaran with lower molecular weight had higher OH scavenging activities. The reduction in molecular weight of the sulfated polysaccharides resulted in a significant decrease in anticoagulant activities. Tyrosinase inhibition improved 2.5 times for hydrolyzed furcellaran. The alamarBlue assay was used to determine the effects of different Mw of furcellaran, κ-carrageenan and ι-carrageenan on the cell viability of RAW264.7, HDF and HaCaT cell lines. It was found that hydrolyzed κ-carrageenan and ι-carrageenan enhanced cell proliferation and improved wound healing, whereas hydrolyzed furcellaran did not affect cell proliferation in any of the cell lines. Nitric oxide (NO) production decreased sequentially as the Mw of the polysaccharides decreased, which indicates that hydrolyzed κ-Carrageenan, ι-carrageenan and furcellaran have the potential to treat inflammatory disease. These findings suggested that the bioactivities of polysaccharides were highly dependent on their Mw, and the hydrolyzed carrageenans could be used in new drug development as well as cosmeceutical applications.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine the combined use of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and polysaccharide isolated from Stichopus japonicus on osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Osteogenic differentiation was measured via histochemical staining of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assay, alizarin red staining of mineralization assay, Western blotting, ELISA, and a qRT-PCR evaluation for the expression of BMP-2, runt-related transcription factor-2 (Runx-2), osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN), and collagen type I (Col I) in MC3T3-E1 cells. Immunofluorescence assay was utilized to assess the BMP-2 localized on the cell surface. The results illustrated that SP-2 was able to increase ALP expression and accelerate the mineralization. Osteoblasts cultured on BMP-2/SP-2 substrate increased the expression levels of BMP-2, Runx-2, Col I, OCN, and OPN. SP-2 increased the binding efficiency involving a BMP-2 and its cell surface receptor. The dose of 5 μg/mL SP-2 used showed the best function of inducing osteoblast differentiation. These findings indicated that SP-2 is a more effective enhancer that cooperated with BMP-2 to induce osteoblastic differentiation by utilizing the BMP-2 signaling pathway.
