Abstract
Fucoidan is a polysaccharide that primarily consists of groups of L-fucose and sulphate.
As a result of its promising therapeutic results, Fucoidan is beneficial worldwide,
especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The special biological structure is
ascribed to its applaudable biological roles. Anti-oxidant, anti-tumor, anti-coagulant, antithrombotic,
immunoregulatory, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory effects are classic
fucoidan-associated bioactivities. More recently, to further emphasise its therapeutic
ability, a number of in vitro and in vivo experiments have been performed. This analysis
reflects on the advances achieved in discovering the biological activities of fucoidan,
which can be useful as a potential treatment. Therefore we have summarised the research
performed in vitro and in vivo during the current decade. We expect this review and a
variety of others can contribute as a theoretical basis for understanding and inspire further
product development of fucoidan.
