Abstract

The anticoagulant activities of fucoidan fractions extracted from Sporophylls of Undaria pinnatifida, Laminaria religiosa, Hizikia fusiforme and Sargassum fulvellum were studied to assess the relationship between chemical characteristics and the activities. Crude fucoidans extracted with diluted HCl solution (pH 2.0) at $65^{\circ}C$ were precipitated with cetylpyridinum chloride and then fractionated by dissolving the precipitated complex with increasing $CaCl_2$, concentrations (1.0 M, 1.5 M, 3.0 M). The anticoagulant activities of the fractions with respect to activated partial thromboplastin (APTT) increased with increase in their sulfate content and Undaria finnatifida Fr-3.0 fraction, prepared by dissolving with 3.0 M $CaCl_2$ solution, exhibited the highest activity. The Undaria finnatifida Fr-3.0 fraction was further modified with pronase and laminase. The pronase and laminase treatment decreased protein and glucose content and the APTT activity was higher than that or parent Undaria finnatifida Fr-3.0 fraction. The pronase and laminase modified Undaria finnatifida Fr-3.0 was composed of fucose, galactose, mannose, sulfate, uronic acid in the approximately molar ratio of 1.00 : 1.30: 0.03 : 2.70 : 0.08.

국내 연안에서 생산되고 있는 갈조류인 미역포자엽, 다시마, 톳, 모자반을 묽은 염산 (pH 2.0)으로 $65^{\circ}C$에서 추출한 crude fucoidan을 CPC처리하여 침전시킨 후 $CaCl_2$ 농도 (1.0M, 1.5M, 3.0M)를 증가시키면서 분획하였다. APTT 활성으로 비교한 결과 분획물의 항 혈액응고 활성은 황산기의 함량이 증가할수록 증가하였으며, 분획물 시료중 미역포자엽을 3.0M $CaCl_2$로 분획한 것이 가장 활성이 우수하였다. 이 획분을 다시 pronase와 laminase로 수식한 결과 각각 단백질과 glucose가 감소하였으나 수식 전에 비하여 APTT 활성이 증가하였다. Pronase와 laminase로 수식한 fucoidan의 fucose : galactose : mannose : sulfate : uronic acid의 $mole\%$는 1 : 1.3:0.03:2.7:0.08이였으며, 효소 처리에 따른 미역 포자엽의 주 결합구조는 변화가 없었다.
