Abstract
Laminaran and three fucoidan fractions were obtained from the brown alga Alaria marginata. Alaria angusta, studied earlier by us, has the same polysaccharide composition. Galactofucan AmF3 from A. marginata has a main chain of →3)-α-l-Fucp-(2,4-SO3(-))-(1→residues, similar to galactofucan from A. angusta. However, the structure of the branches in fucoidan AmF3 can differ from those in the fucoidan from A. angusta. The following fragments were identified in AmF3: HexA-(1→2)-Fuc, HexA-(1→2)-Gal, Gal-(1→4)-HexA, Fuc-(1→2)-Gal-6-SO3(-), Fuc-4-SO3(-)-(1→6)-Gal, Gal-(1→2)-Gal-2-SO3(-), Gal-4-SO3(-)-(1 →6)-Gal, Gal-4-SO3(-)-(1→3)-Fuc-(1→3)-Fuc, Fuc-4-SO3(-)-(1→6)-Gal-(1→4)-Gal, Gal-(1→4)-Gal-(1→3)-Fuc, Gal-2-SO3(-)-(1→4)-Gal-(1→4)-Gal, Gal-(1→4)-Gal-6-SO3(-)-(1→2)-Gal. Chains of galactose residues (DP up to 9) were found in AmF3 fucoidan. The laminarans, galactofucans and their derivatives from both algae exhibited no cytotoxicity in vitro. Polysaccharides from A. angusta were more effective against colony formation of HT-29 cells, while those from A. marginata had a greater effect on T-47D cells. Sulfated and desulfated fucoidans possessed weak antitumor activity using SK-MEL-28 cells.
