Application of chromatography in purification and structural analysis of natural polysaccharides: A review. J Sep Sci 2023; 46:e2300368. [PMID: 37480171 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202300368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
Polysaccharides are widely distributed in natural sources from monocytic microorganisms to higher animals, and are found in a variety of biological activities in recent decades. Natural polysaccharides have the characteristics of large molecular weight, diverse composition, and complex structure, so their purification and structural analysis are difficult issues in research. Chromatography as a powerful separation technique, plays an irreplaceable role in the separation and structural analysis of natural polysaccharides, especially in the purification of polysaccharides, the separation of hydrolysates, and the analysis of monosaccharide composition. The separation mechanisms and application of different chromatographic methods in the studies of polysaccharides were summarized in this review. Moreover, the advantages and drawbacks of various chromatography methods were discussed as well.

Chitosan-toluidine blue beads for purification of fucoidans. Carbohydr Polym 2019; 231:115686. [PMID: 31888805 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2019.115686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2019] [Revised: 11/08/2019] [Accepted: 11/26/2019] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
A simple and green method was developed to purify fucoidans from their crude extracts. The new method utilizes a genipin-crosslinked chitosan beads as a support matrix for toluidine blue (TB). The modification of the mostly composed of d-glucosamine polymer was performed in one-step reaction to improve its mechanical stability and affinity to fucoidans. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm were investigated, which showed a maximum loading capacity (qmax) of 137.8 mg fucoidans/g wet beads. Moreover, the modified chitosan-TB beads were applied for purification of fucoidans from Fucus vesiculosus crude extract at different pH values, pH 1.0 and pH 6.0, producing two fractions: FC_1 and FC_6, respectively. The fractions were then characterized in comparison with crude and Sigma-Aldrich® purified product by FTIR and elemental analysis. The new method produced beads with higher loading capacity and used a natural crosslinker compared to the previously-reported methods.

Effects of molecular weight and hydrolysis conditions on anticancer activity of fucoidans from sporophyll of Undaria pinnatifida. Int J Biol Macromol 2008; 43:433-7.

Abstract
Hydrolyzed fucoidans, from sporophyll of Undaria pinnatifida, were used to determine the effects of molecular weight (Mw) and hydrolysis conditions on cancer cell growth. Native fucoidans showed anticancer activity of 37.6%. When hydrolyzed in boiling water with HCl for 5 min, fucoidans (Mw = 490 kDa) significantly increased anticancer activity to 75.9%. However, fucoidans hydrolyzed in a microwave oven showed little improvement of anticancer activity and even exhibited the inhibition activity below 30% when treated more than 90s. This suggests that anticancer activity of fucoidans could be significantly enhanced by lowering their Mw only when they are depolymerized by mild condition.

Abstract
We evaluated the role of nonspecific electrostatic binding in the interaction of antithrombin (AT) with heparin (Hp), a paradigmatic protein-glycosaminoglycan (GAG) system. To do so, we obtained the ionic-strength dependence of the binding constant, since a common feature in protein-polyelectrolyte systems is a maximum in affinity in the ionic strength range 10 mM <I<30 mM (Seyrek et al, Biomacromolecules 2003, 4, 273-282). Because this feature is seen for both synthetic and biological polyelectrolytes, and because the value of I(max) correlates with protein size and charge asymmetry through the Debye length (Seyrek et al, Biomacromolecules 2003, 4, 273-282), this behavior appears to be a signature of non-specific electrostatic protein-polyelectrolyte binding. Binding of AT to both standard (14 kDa) Hp and partially degraded (5 kDa) low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) exhibited this same behavior. Capillary electrophoresis (CZE) of Hp and LMWH yielded electropherograms whose remarkable breadth revealed the enormous heterogeneity of average charge density among the innumerable molecular species of Hp and LMWH. These distributions were somewhat reduced after affinity chromatography (AC) fractionation, indicating that the high-affinity fraction was generally depleted of the lower-charge species. Size-exclusion chromatography coupled with Electrospray Mass Spectrometry confirmed lower levels of sulfation for the lower affinity fractions. Comparisons of LMWH with Dermatan sulfate (DS) by CZE and AC suggested a correlation between the relative absence of very highly charged components in DS and its weaker binding to AT. These findings point to a significant role of the charge density of GAG chains in their affinity for AT.

Abstract
Downstream processing is one of the most underestimated steps in bioprocesses and this is not only the case in marine biotechnology. However, it is well known, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, that downstreaming is the most expensive and unfortunately the most ineffective part of a bioprocess. Thus, one might assume that new developments are widely described in the literature. Unfortunately this is not the case. Only a few working groups focus on new and more effective procedures to separate products from marine organisms. A major characteristic of marine biotechnology is the wide variety of products. Due to this variety a broad spectrum of separation techniques must be applied. In this chapter we will give an overview of existing general techniques for downstream processing which are suitable for marine bioprocesses, with some examples focussing on special products such as proteins (enzymes), polysaccharides, polyunsaturated fatty acids and other low molecular weight products. The application of a new membrane adsorber is described as well as the use of solvent extraction in marine biotechnology.

Octyl 2,3-di-O-sulfo-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-2-O-sulfo-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-2,3-di-O-sulfo-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-2-O-sulfo-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-2,3-di-O-sulfo-beta-L-fucopyranoside, a fucosyl pentasaccharide with a regular structure resembling the repeating unit of a natural sulfated fucan, was chemically synthesized using a convergent '2+3' strategy. Regioselective 3-O-silylation of beta-thiofucopyranoside and AgOTf-catalyzed glycosylation of the protected glycosyl trichloroacetimidate facilitated a one-pot trisaccharide synthesis. The synthesized target compound showed good antitumor activity in vivo, and promising anticoagulant activity in vitro.

Abstract
An efficient method for the regioselective 3-O-silylation of beta-thiofucopyranoside was disclosed. Based on this discovery, we described a high-yielding strategy for the synthesis of the natural core structure of L-fucan and its fully sulfated derivative. The bioassay suggested that octyl 2,3,4-tri-O-sulfo-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-2,4-di-O-sulfo-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-2,4-di-O-sulfo-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-2,4-di-O-sulfo-beta-L-fucopyranoside presented better antitumor activities than that of the free tetramer based on Sarcoma 180 cells and Lewis lung carcinoma model studies.

Abstract
Sulfated fucans are among the most widely studied of all the sulfated polysaccharides of non-mammalian origin that exhibit biological activities in mammalian systems. Examples of these polysaccharides extracted from echinoderms have simple structures, composed of oligosaccharide repeating units within which the residues differ by specific patterns of sulfation among different species. In contrast the algal fucans may have some regular repeating structure but are clearly more heterogeneous when compared with the echinoderm fucans. The structures of the sulfated fucans from brown algae also vary from species to species. We compared the anticoagulant activity of the regular and repetitive fucans from echinoderms with that of the more heterogeneous fucans from three species of brown algae. Our results indicate that different structural features determine not only the anticoagulant potency of the sulfated fucans but also the mechanism by which they exert this activity. Thus, the branched fucans from brown algae are direct inhibitors of thrombin, whereas the linear fucans from echinoderms require the presence of antithrombin or heparin cofactor II for inhibition of thrombin, as reported for mammalian glycosaminoglycans. The linear sulfated fucans from echinoderms have an anticoagulant action resembling that of mammalian dermatan sulfate and a modest action through antithrombin. A single difference of one sulfate ester per tetrasaccharide repeating unit modifies the anticoagulant activity of the polysaccharide markedly. Possibly the spatial arrangements of sulfate esters in the repeating tetrasaccharide unit of the echinoderm fucan mimics the site in dermatan sulfate with high affinity for heparin cofactor II.

Abstract
A structural study was carried out on a fucoidan isolated from the brown seaweed Cladosiphon okamuranus. The polysaccharide contained fucose, glucuronic acid and sulfate in a molar ratio of about 6.1 : 1.0 : 2.9. The results of Smith degradation showed that this polysaccharide has a linear backbone of 1-->3-linked alpha-fucopyranose with a half sulfate substitution at the 4-positions, and a portion of the fucose residues was O-acetylated. The data obtained from partial acid hydrolysis, a methylation analysis and NMR spectra indicated that the alpha-glucuronic acid residue is linked to the 2-positions of the fucose residues, which were not substituted by a sulfate group. These results indicated that the average structure of this fucoidan is as follows: -[(-->3Fuc-4(+/-OSO3-)alpha1-)5-->3[GlcA alpha1-->2]Fuc alpha1-]n-. (Half of each fucose residue was sulfated. One O-acetyl ester was present in every 6 fucose residues.)

Abstract
Heparin exerts its anticoagulant activity by catalysing the inhibition of coagulation proteases by antithrombin (AT). Its main target is thrombin but it also catalyses the inhibition of the other serine-proteases of the coagulation cascade, such as factor IXa (fIXa). The aim of this study was to compare the catalysis of inhibition of blood fIXa by antithrombin in the presence of several sulfated polysaccharides with anticoagulant activity, i.e. heparin, three widely used in therapeutics low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) and fucoidan. Plots of the second-order rate constants of the fIXa-antithrombin reaction vs. the concentration of added heparin and LMWH are bell-shaped and fit the kinetic model established for thrombin-antithrombin reaction by Jordan R., Beeler D., Rosenberg R. (1979) J. Biol. Chem., 254, 2902-2913. In the ascending branch, the catalyst (C) binds quickly to the inhibitor (I) to form a catalyst-inhibitor (CI) complex which is more reactive towards the enzyme (E) than the free inhibitor, leading to the formation of an inactive enzyme-inhibitor complex (EI) and the release of free catalyst, in a rate-limiting second step. After a maximum corresponding to an optimal catalyst concentration, the decrease in the reaction rate was in keeping with the formation of a catalyst-enzyme (CE) complex, whose inactivation by the CI complex was slower than that of the free enzyme. Maximum second-order rate constants for the inhibition of fIXa by AT were 105, 6.8, 12.24 and 22 microM-1 min-1 with heparin, Enoxaparin, Fraxiparin and Fragmin, respectively, leading to 3500-, 225-, 405- and 728-fold increases in the inhibition rate in the absence of polysaccharide, respectively. Fucoidan yielded 23-fold increase in the fIXa-antithrombin interaction rate. The kinetic profiles obtained with this polysaccharide exhibited ascending branch which correlated well with the kinetic model based on the formation of binary complexes (CI or CE). Fucoidan was covalently conjugated with a fluorescent probe (DTAF) and used in conjunction with fluorescence anisotropy to follow its binding to antithrombin, heparin cofactor II (HCII), thrombin and fIXa. The binding of fucoidan to these proteins occurred with low affinities when compared to heparin and LMWH. Fucoidan had higher affinity for the inhibitor HCII compared to antithrombin and enzymes. These data suggest that binding of heparins and fucoidan to the inhibitor (CI) is required for the polysaccharide-dependent enhancement in the rate of neutralization of the enzyme by the inhibitor.

Urinary excretion of sulfated polysaccharides administered to Wistar rats suggests a renal permselectivity to these polymers based on molecular size. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA 1997; 1335:161-72.

Abstract
Sulfated polysaccharides were administered to Wistar rats and their elimination from the blood as well as their urinary excretion were evaluated. Sulfated polysaccharides with differences in molecular mass, charge density and molecular structure were obtained from algae, marine invertebrates and vertebrates. A simple methodology based on the metachromatic property of these polysaccharides with 1,9-dimethylmethylene blue was used to estimate their concentration in urine and blood. Renal permselectivity to these macromolecules was based on molecular size, but the upper limit of molecular mass for excretion of a sulfated polysaccharide in urine varies among polymers with different structures. For dextran sulfates the upper limit is approximately 8 kDa. Chondroitin 4- and 6-sulfates were excreted as fragments of approximately 30 kDa, which is smaller than the injected polysaccharide. This suggests that they were degraded enzymatically in vivo. Large synthetic polymers (dextran sulfate > 8 kDa) were not excreted in urine, but slowly disappeared from the blood. Evaluation of their tissue distribution after intravenous administration indicated that these molecules are preferentially accumulated in the kidney.

Abstract
The kinetics of thrombin inhibition by heparin cofactor II (HC II) in the presence of dermatan sulphates, native (DS), or oversulphated (DSS 1 and DSS 2) and a biospecific dextran derivative substituted with carboxymethyl, carboxymethyl-benzylamide and carboxymethyl benzylamide-sulphonate functional groups (CMDBS), has been studied as a function of the sulphated polysaccharide concentration. The initial HC II and thrombin concentrations were set at equimolar levels. Analysis of the experimental data obtained for DS, DSS1 and DSS2 was performed using a previously described model which allows computation of the dissociation constant (KPS,HC) of the polysaccharide-HC II complex and the rate constant of thrombin inhibition by the polysaccharide-HC II complex (k). A KPS.HC of 9.6 x'10(-7) M and a k of 4.5 x 10(9) M-1 min-1 were found for DS, whereas KPS,HC 2.1 x 10(-6) M, k 1.1 x 10(10) M-1 min-1 and KPS,HC 4.3 x 10(-7) M, k 1.4 x 10(10) M-1 min-1 were found for DSS1 and DSS2, respectively. Knowing that DSS1 has a sulphur content per disaccharide of 7.8%, compared with 11.5% for DSS2, these results indicate that the polysaccharide affinity for HC II is increased only in the case of DSS 2, whereas the oversulphation increases the reactivities towards thrombin of both complexes DSS1-HC II and DSS2-HC II. A better conformation of these complexes may favour a faster interaction with the protease. Unlike heparin, DS at concentrations higher than 10(-5) M does not modify the reaction rate of thrombin inhibition, a fact which can be explained by the absence of complex formation between DS and thrombin. The experimental data obtained for CMDBS fit a kinetic model in which the biospecific dextran derivative rapidly forms a complex with thrombin which is more reactive towards HC II than the free protease. The reaction rate remained unchanged for CMDBS concentrations equal to or higher than 10(-5) M, whereas CMDBS was found to interfere strongly with the fibrinogen-thrombin interaction. These data suggest that CMDBS has a strong affinity for the protease and no affinity for HC II. The computed dissociation constant of the CMDBS-thrombin complex (KPS,E) was 2.4 x 10(-7) M and the rate constant of the reaction of this complex with HC II (k) was 1.7 x 10(8) M-1 min-1. These findings indicate that CMDBS exerts its catalytic effect through a unique mechanism of action and may constitute a new class of anticoagulant drugs.
