Abstract
lmong all the type of cancer, the incidence of breast
cancer in canines has been increasing despite the J-act that the elforts " to prevent the disease has been improving. The traditional
chemotherapy has been shown to be elfective though it exhibit some
serious adverse effects as the targets of the chemotherapeutic agents
are nonspecific in most cases. Hence the chemotherapeutic agents
affect the normal cells leading to the adverse fficts. Howetter
researchers have been working for the past two decades to find the
alternative treatment to the cancer with lesser adverse ffict. Natural
products or the bioactive compounds from natural sources have been
proved to be less toxic. Fucoidan is one such natural polysaccharide
of sulphated fucose residues from seaweed. Fucoidan have been used
in cancer treatment in many countries. In this study we analyse the
ability offucoidan to treat breast cancer using in silico approaches.
