BACKGROUND
Carrageenan is a traditional ingredient that has been widely used in the food industry. In the present study, we propose a hypothesis that carrageenan is a conditional inflammatory agent. When the intestinal tract is in an "unhealthy" state such as that during bacterial infection or acute
Background. The dietary usage of carrageenan as common food additive has increased observably over the last 50 years. But there is substantial controversy about its safety. Methods. We investigated whether the κ-carrageenan could enhance lipopolysaccharide-induced IL-8 expression by studying its
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common disease, often refractory to conventional antimicrobial treatment. In this study we investigate the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects of adding kappa-carrageenan to a commercially available sinus Material barrier properties to microbes are an important issue in many pharmaceutical applications like wound dressings. A wide range of biomaterials has been used to manage the chronic inflamed wounds. Eight hydrogel membranes of poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) with κ-carrageenan (KC) and Lactobacillus
BACKGROUND
As a sulfated polysaccharide, carrageenan has been widely used as common food additive.
METHODS
In the present study, we investigated the effects of κ-carrageenan on TNBS-induced gut inflammation in mice. BALB/c mice were pretreated with κ-carrageenan for 14days prior to the
Based on the prodrug principle, aspirin eugenol ester (AEE) was synthesized, which can reduce the side effects of aspirin and eugenol. As a good candidate for new antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory medicine, it is essential to evaluate its preventive effect on thrombosis. Preventive effect of AEE
Kappa-Carrageenan wrapped ZnO nanoparticles (KC-ZnO NPs) was synthesized, physico-chemically characterized and evaluated their biocompatibility and antimicrobial therapy against MRSA. XRD showed the highly crystalline and hexagonal phase structure of ZnO NPs. FETEM confirmed the spherical and
Mefenamic acid (MA) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used as analgesic and antipyretic drug. Available conventional pharmaceutical forms are capsules and film-coated tablets given three times a day (t.t.d.). Natural polymers such as sodium alginate, pectin, chitosan and carregeenan, used as
κ/ι-Carrageenan hexaoses (κ/ι-neocarrahexaoses, KCO-4) are a type of carrageenan oligosaccharide that have a broad spectrum of bioactivities due to the presence of sulfate groups. However, the anti-inflammatory capacity of purified carrageenan oligosaccharides and the underlying mechanism has not
Structural peculiarities of low molecular weight (LMW) sample obtained by mild acid hydrolysis of κ-carrageenan from Chondrus armatus was investigated by a rapid mass spectrometric method. The selected conditions allowed avoiding excess destruction of 3,6-AnGal residues that was shown by using
Smart conductive materials are developed in regenerative medicine to promote a controlled release profile of charged bioactive agents in the vicinity of implants. The incorporation and the active electrochemical release of the charged compounds into the organic conductive coating is achieved due to
The aim of the present work was to load a Hibiscus sabdariffa (HS) hydroalcoholic extract into in situ gelling formulations for the treatment of oral mucositis and esophagitis. Such formulations, selected as the most promising options in a previous work of ours, were composed by κ-carrageenan
Engineering of multifunctional drug nanocarriers combining stability and good release properties remains a great challenge. In this work, natural polymers κ-carrageenan (κ-CAR) and chitosan (CS) were deposited onto olive oil nanoemulsion droplets (NE) via layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly to study
The major neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by increasing of activated-microglial cells and inflammatory cytokines in the central nervous system. Carrageenan extracted from red algae is a kind of polysaccharide with sulfate groups. The oligosaccharides were obtained from carrageenan by
Neurodegenerative disease involves an inflammatory response in the central nervous system characterized by an increase in inflammatory cytokines and activation of microglial cell. To reveal the immune regulation activity of κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides (KOS) on microglia cell activated by LPS and
