Unveiling the physicochemical properties of a sulfated polysaccharide based on Ulvan with high biomedical potential

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Introduction: Ulvan, extracted from the green algae Ulva lactuca displays physico-chemical and biological features of potential interest for biomedical applications1. This sulfated polysaccharide is mainly built on disaccharides repeating sequences composed of sulphated rhamnose and glucuronic acid, iduronic acid or xylose2. In this work, structural, chemical degradation and rheological studies were performed in order to complement in vitro and in vivo performance studies and to screen its potential biomedical interest.
