Description Aqueous extract of the seaweed Turbinaria conoides was purified to obtain an
oligofucan-enriched seaweed concentrate (OESC). Oligofucans isolated were
characterized as two types with (→1)-fucose-(2,3-diSO3
−)-(1→4)-fucose-(2-
SO3
−)-(1→3)-fucose-(2,3-diSO3
−)-(1→4)-fucose-(2-SO3
−, 3-OAc)-(4→) and (→1)-
fucose-(3-SO3
−)-(1→4)-fucose-(2-SO3
−)-(1→4)-fucose-(3-SO3
−)-(1→4)-fucose-(2-
SO3
−)-(4→) motifs. A 90-day accelerated shelf-life study (50°C) showed that
OESC maintained its antioxidant properties (free radical scavenging, reducing,
lipid peroxidation inhibition, and chelating activities) even after 30 days. In vitro
COX-2 and 5-LOX inhibitory properties of OESC (67.2 and 95.2%, respectively)
showed no significant variation even at the 30th day. OESC significantly
mitigated the carrageenan-induced inflammation in rats at 0–2 h (59.7–
70.3%inhibition), which were greater compared to the synthetic NSAID aspirin.
The safety of OESC has been assessed by acute (14 days) and subchronic (90
days) oral toxicity studies, which showed no toxicity-related significant
changes in renal or hepatic function, hematological indices, and serum
biochemical parameters in the OESC-treated Wistar rats. No histopathological
alterations were observed in the vital organs of rats treated with OESC. LD50
and sub-chronic no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for this concentrate
were found to be > 5,000 and 2,000mg/kg BW, respectively. Hence, oligofucan-
enriched seaweed concentrate is safe to consume without any adverse
effects in the body.
