Title:?LaminaranCAS Registry Number:?9008-22-4Additional Names:?LaminarinLiterature References:?A polysaccharide found in brown seaweed and occurring principally in the Laminaria spp. Linear polymer composed of b-(1?3)-linked glucose residues; may contain small amounts of b-(1?6) linkages as interresidue linkages or as branch points and 2-3% D-mannitol as end groups. Two forms of laminaran are recognized; they are referred to as soluble and insoluble laminaran: Percival, Ross, J. Chem. Soc. 1951, 720.

(Academic Press, New York, 2nd ed., 1973) pp 137-145.?Derivative Type:?Water-insoluble laminaranProperties:?Isolated from L. cloustoni Edmondst., Laminariaceae, is pptd spontaneously from the aq acid extract of the plant. Has lower degree of branching than the sol form. Typical analysis of the dry material: 92.5% polyglucose, 0.4% non-volatile matter; [a]D16 -13.4? (c = 0.9). Amorphous triacetate, (C12H16O8)n, [a]D16 -63.5? (c = 0.4 in chloroform).Optical Rotation:?[a]D16 -13.4? (c = 0.9); [a]D16 -63.5? (c = 0.4 in chloroform)?Derivative Type:?Soluble formProperties:?Isolated from L. digitata, is separated from the acidified extract only after addition of a precipitant such as ethanol. Typical analysis (on dry basis): 91.2% polyglucose, 1.0% non-volatile matter; [a]D18 -11.9? (c = 2.1).Optical Rotation:?[a]D18 -11.9? (c = 2.1)?Derivative Type:?SulfateAdditional Names:?Laminaran hydrogen sulfateProperties:?Laminaran can be sulfated to varying degrees. Highly sulfated products have anticoagulant properties comparable to heparin, while laminarans with few sulfate groups are antilipemic only: Besterman, Evans, Br. Med. J.
