Acanthophora muscoides (Rhodophyta) has three polysulfated fractions    (Am-1, Am-2 and Am-3). Am-2 displayed anti-inflammation and serpin-independent anticoagulation; however, no effect of oligomers on thrombin-generation (TG) assay has been demonstrated. This study employed mild-acid hydrolysis to obtain low-molecular-size derivatives from Am-2 and compared in vitro inhibitory effects between intact Am-2 and its hydrolysates on a TG assay. The enzymatic extract was fractionated by DEAE-cellulose that revealed Am-2 eluted with 0.75-M NaCl containing sulfate (23%), hexoses (51%) and devoid of proteins, and indicating, by one-dimension nuclear magnetic resonance, structure of galactan similar to that of extract. The depolymerization with HCl (0.02 or 0.04-M, 60°C) for different times progressively reduced the charge density and the molecular-size of Am-2 based on electrophoreses in agarose and polyacrylamide gels, respectively, where at higher acid concentration and critical time up to 5 h yielded fragment of  ̴ 10-kDa similar to that of unfractionated heparin (UHEP). Regarding the TG assay, intact Am-2 inhibited concentration-dependent the intrinsic pathway, whereas its hydrolysates abolished it like UHEP, when in 60-fold diluted human plasma using chromogenic method by a continuous system. The results reveal an alternative approach for producing oligosaccharides from A. muscoides with TG inhibition.A. muscoides (Rhodophyta) has three polysulfated fractions (-1, -2 and Am-3).

Regarding the TG assay, intact Am-2 inhibited concentration-dependent intrinsic pathway, whereas its hydrolysates abolished it like UHEP, except the analog fragment (92.87% inhibition), when in 60-fold diluted human plasma using chromogenic method in a continuous system. The results reveal an alternative approach for the production of oligosaccharides from A. muscoides with TG inhibition.
