Abstract

A fucoidan consisting of L-fucose, sulfate and acetate in a molar proportion of 1:1.23:0.36 was isolated from the Pacific brown seaweed Fucus evanescens. The structures of its desulfated and de-O-acetylated derivatives were investigated by 1D and 2D (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, and the data obtained were confirmed by methylation analysis of the native and desulfated polysaccharides. The fucoidan was shown to contain a linear backbone of alternating 3- and 4-linked alpha-L-fucopyranose 2-sulfate residues: -->3)-alpha-L-Fucp(2SO(3)(-))-(1-->4)-alpha-L-Fucp(2SO(3)(-))-(1-->. Additional sulfate occupies position 4 in a part of 3-linked fucose residues, whereas a part of the remaining hydroxyl groups is randomly acetylated.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
