Comparative Evaluation of Dynamic Maceration and Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction of Fucoidan from Four Arctic Brown Algae on Its Antioxidant and Anticancer Properties

The technology of fucoidan extraction significantly affects its properties. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of dynamic maceration (DM) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) on the antioxidant and anticancer properties of fucoidan from Arctic brown algae. <i>Fucus vesiculosus</i&g...

description The technology of fucoidan extraction significantly affects its properties. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of dynamic maceration (DM) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) on the antioxidant and anticancer properties of fucoidan from Arctic brown algae. <i>Fucus vesiculosus</i> (Fv), <i>Fucus serratus</i> (Fs), <i>Fucus distichus</i> (Fd), and <i>Ascophyllum nodosum</i> (An) were collected from the Barents Sea. The average yield of fucoidan and uronic acid was higher (by 43.2% and 22.0%, respectively) after UAE, while phlorotannin content decreased by 53.7% compared with DM. The fucose level for all algae increased after UAE, while the molecular weight of fucoidans was lower. The highest antioxidant activity was noted for the fucoidan from An and Fv, which were obtained by DM and can be associated with the high concentrations of phlorotannins. The treatment of HeLa G-63 cells with all studied fucoidans for 48 h increased concentration-dependently the number of dead cells. The most promising were Fv and Fs fucoidans with high phlorotannins, low sulfates, and uronic acid extracted by DM. The co-administration of paclitaxel and fucoidan caused cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase. The calculated for the first time combinatory effect showed that the simultaneous use of paclitaxel and fucoidan exposure leads to a synergistic interaction. Our results support the rationality of fucoidan use in complex chemotherapy to improve survival, quality of life and immunity in patients with cervical carcinoma.
