Fucoidan has gained a great interest as a potential drug candidate against various diseases including anti-coagulant, anti-viral and anti-tumors activities. However, several challenges have hampered fucoidan to be a GMP-compliant product and then FDA approval. This review discussed fucoidan structure's heterogeneity, co-extracted contaminants, and ecological-related problems, which were considered as the major challenges faced fucoidan approval. Moreover, it presented novel opportunities toward homogenous production that gives high-quality, reliable and reproducible physico-chemical and clinical results. Among these opportunities are optimization of extraction and purification procedures, tissue culture techniques and enzymatic synthesis via heterologous expression of enzymes involved in its biosynthesis.
褐藻糖胶作为一种有前途的候选药物,具有抗凝血、抗病毒和抗肿瘤等多种活性,引起了广泛关注。然而,一些挑战阻碍了褐藻糖胶成为符合 GMP 标准的产品,并获得 FDA 批准。本文综述了褐藻糖胶结构的异质性、共提取的污染物和与生态相关的问题,这些问题被认为是褐藻糖胶批准的主要挑战。此外,本文还介绍了实现均质生产的新机遇,从而提供高质量、可靠和可重复的物理化学和临床结果。这些机遇包括优化提取和纯化程序、组织培养技术以及通过异源表达参与其生物合成的酶进行酶促合成。
