Anticoagulant activity of a sulfated polysaccharide isolated from the green seaweed Caulerpa cupressoides

Anticoagulant activity of a sulfated polysaccharide isolated from the green seaweed Caulerpa cupressoides

The aim of this study was to evaluate certain molecular characteristics of a sulfated polysaccharide (SPs) with anticoagulant properties, isolated from Caulerpa cupressoides (Chlorophyta). Crude SPs were extracted by proteolytic digestion (papain), followed by ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE-c...
