Properties
Description
Fucoidan-metronidazole conjugate (or metronidazole-fucoidan) links the metronidazole group to fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide sourced from brown algae, forming a compound with possible experimental uses.
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.
