Properties
Description
Fucoidan-valeric acid conjugate (alternatively termed valeric acid-fucoidan) merges valeric acid with fucoidan, a sulfated seaweed polysaccharide, resulting in a hybrid compound for potential research applications.
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.
