Chemical structure and antiviral activity of carrageenans from Meristiella gelidium against herpes simplex and dengue virus

Chemical and spectroscopic methods showed that the major KCl-precipitated galactans from Meristiella gelidium (Solieriaceae) are iota/kappa/nu-hybrid carrageenans with the former one in higher proportion. These carrageenans showed, by HPSEC-MALLS analysis, unimodal symmetrical peaks with MW of 425.6...
