Abstract
The large production of sulfated polysaccharides was routinely investigated by various procedures such as enzymatic method and acid hydrolysis. The free-radical depolymerization applied directly on the skin of ray constitutes an efficient method and an original process to produce bioactive compounds in large amount and good reproducibility. The depolymerized sulfated polysaccharides fractions obtained from the skin of ray Raja montagui have an average molecular weight ranging from 29 kDa to 5 kDa and were endowed with higher anticoagulant activity compared to mammalian dermatan sulfate from intestinal mucosa. Moreover, the anticoagulant effect of these fractions was 4 and 5-fold higher than the DS from porcine mucosa as shown by activated partial thromboplastin time and thrombin time, respectively. In particular, this was illustrated by lower IC50 as for the overall inhibition of thrombin in human plasma.

Ayurvedic medicinal therapeutic approaches for inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders
Usually, in our elderly population, neurodegenerative disorders occur due to neuron death. Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disease. Dementia is the leading cause of AD, which affects about 30 million people worldwide. According to the World Alzheimer report 2018, a new case of dementia develops every ...read more
Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
