  • Title: Antitumor effect of seaweeds. II. Fractionation and partial characterization of the polysaccharide with antitumor activity from Sargassum fulvellum.
    Author: Yamamoto I, Nagumo T, Fujihara M, Takahashi M, Ando Y.
    Journal: Jpn J Exp Med; 1977 Jun; 47(3):133-40. PubMed ID: 916293.
    Abstract:
    An almost purified antitumor polysaccharide fraction (SFPP) was obtained by fractional precipitation with ethanol from hot-water extract of Sargassum fulvellum. The fraction showed remarkable tumor-inhibiting effect against sarcoma-180 implanted subcutaneously in mice. The results of chemical and physical analyses suggested that the active substance may be either a sulphated peptidoglycuronoglycan or a sulphated glycuronoglycan.
