Abstract
The ocean is known as a vast and renewable source of natural substances. Among marine biomaterials, polysaccharides have received increasing attentions in the recent years because they are abundant, cheap, biocompatible, and biodegradable facilitating their biomedical applications in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, cancer therapy, or wound healing. In this chapter, we overviewed pharmaceutical fields such as the design of drug delivery systems from the dominant marine polysaccharides including carrageenan in red algae, ulvan in green algae and fucoidan in brown algae, chitosan in Crustacea, as well as exopolysaccharides form marine cyanobacteria and bacteria. We also presented general information about their structure, extraction process, and physicochemical properties and reported biological activities. The recent developments in the usage of each polysaccharide as nanocarriers, as well as hydrogels, tablets, and beads, were discussed under the scope of drug delivery. The reports suggest marine-derived polysaccharides as good candidates for future biomedical applications in particular the development of innovative systems for drug delivery and tissue engineering approaches.
