Abstract
Bioassay-guided purification of sulphated polysaccharides from a green mari ne alga, Codium dwarkense, yielded two products which contained sulphated a rabinan and sulphated arabinogalactan. The product containing arabinan sulp hate exhibited stronger blood anticoagulant activity than the one containin g sulphated arabinogalactan. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights rese rved.
