Article Synopsis
- The high molecular weight laminaran from the brown alga Eisenia bicyclis was analyzed using various methods, revealing it as a 1,3;1,6-β-D-glucan with a greater presence of 1,6-linked glucose residues.
- The structure shows that the 1,3-linked glucose blocks mainly consist of disaccharide fragments, while the 1,6-linked residues are primarily located at the non-reduced ends of the molecules, affecting their polymerization degree.
- Both laminaran and its enzymatic hydrolysis products exhibited inhibition of human melanoma and colon cancer cell growth, suggesting their potential as antitumor agents when modified for specific molecular weights.
