Properties
Description
Fucoidan-C18 stearic acid conjugate (also referred to as C18 stearic acid-fucoidan) merges C18 stearic acid with fucoidan, a sulfated algal polysaccharide, forming a hybrid compound for possible experimental studies.
Glycan Structure
The glycan structure of fucoidan primarily consists of α-(1→3)- or α-(1→4)-linked L-fucose residues with sulfate groups at C-2/C-4 positions, often interspersed with branching points and occasional substitutions by other monosaccharides like galactose or xylose.
