Fucoidan is a brown algae-derived polysaccharide having several biomedical applications. This study simultaneously compares the anti-cancer activities of crude fucoidans from <i>Fucus</i> <i>vesiculosus</i> and <i>Sargassum</i> <i>filipendula</i>, and effects of low (LMW, 10-50 kDa), medium (MMW, 50-100 kDa) and high (HMW, >100 kDa) molecular weight fractions of <i>S.</i> <i>filipendula</i> fucoidan against osteosarcoma cells. Glucose, fucose and acid levels were lower and sulphation was higher ...[more]
