ABSTRACT
Thrombosis is a serious threat to human health and life. Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide from brown algae, could prevent coagulation and thrombus after intravenous administration. However, more efforts are still needed to develop its oral agent. In the present study, the absorption and excretion of fucoidan (90.8 kDa) and its degradation products, Dfuc1 (19.2 kDa) and Dfuc2 (5.5 kDa), were determined by HPLC-MS/MS after acid degradation and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone derivatization, and their anticoagulation and antithrombotic activities were evaluated in vivo after oral administration. Results showed that the maximum concentrations of fucoidan, Dfuc1 and Dfuc2 in rat plasma all achieved at 2 h after oral administration (150 mg/kg), and they were 41.1 ± 10.6 µg/mL, 45.3 ± 18.5 µg/mL and 59.3 ± 13.7 µg/mL, respectively. In addition, fucoidan, Dfuc1 and Dfuc2 could all prolong the activated partial thromboplastin time in vivo from 23.7 ± 2.7 s (blank control) to 25.1 ± 2.6 s, 27.1 ± 1.7 s and 29.4 ± 3.6 s, respectively. Moreover, fucoidan and its degradation products showed similar antithrombotic effect in carrageenan-induced thrombosis mice, and untargeted metabolomics analysis revealed that they all markedly regulated the carrageenan-induced metabolite disorders, especially the arachidonic acid metabolism. Thus, the degradation products of fucoidan with lower molecular weights are more attractive for the development of oral antithrombotic agents.
