A Novel Polysaccharide from Sargassum weizhouense: Extraction Optimization, Structural Characterization, Antiviral and Antioxidant Effects.

ABSTRACT: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most economically important pathogens in the global swine industry over the past three decades. There is no licensed antiviral medication that can effectively control this infection. In the present study, the structure of SP-1 isolated and purified from Sargassum weizhouense was analyzed, and its antioxidant capacity and antiviral effect in MARC-145 cells against PRRSV were investigated. The results showed that SP-1 is a novel polysaccharide which mainly is composed of →4)-β-D-ManpA-(1→, →4)-α-L-GulpA-(1→ and a small amount of →4)-β-D-GalpA-(1→. PRRSV adsorption, replication, and release were all suppressed by SP-1. SP-1 therapy down-regulated mRNA expression of the CD163 receptor while increasing the antioxid
