Oxidized cashew gum scaffolds for tissue engineering
Maciel, Jeanny S.; Azevedo, Sara; Correia, Clara R.; Costa, Ana M. S.; Costa, Rui Filipe Ramos; Magalhães, Francisco A.; Monteiro, Aliny Abreu deIn the last few years, several strategies have been proposed to fabricate scaffolds for tissue engineering (TE) applications; however, they are based on harsh and timeâ consuming techniques. The choice for natural polymers such as cashew gum (CG) allows to circumvent the demands of biocompatibility and degradability of TE systems. In this work, CG, a polysaccharide derived from Anacardium occidentale trees, is ...
Polysaccharide isolated from Agardhiella ramosissima : chemical structure and a...
Batista, Jalles A.; Dias, Eulina G.N.; Brito, Tarcisio V.; Prudêncio, Rafael S.; Silva, Renan O.; Ribeiro, Ronaldo A.; Souza, Marcellus Henrique L.P.The sulfated polysaccharide (PLS) fraction of Agardhiella ramosissima was characterized by microanalysis, infrared spectroscopy, NMR and gas–liquid-chromatography–mass-spectrometry. The main constituent of PLS was the carrageenan. The monosaccharide composition of the PLS showed galactose, 3,6- anhydrogalactose and 6-O-methylgalactose. The PLS (30 mg kg−1) significantly reduced the paw oedema induced by carrage...
