Saccharides

Saccharides are the most abundant class of organic compounds found in living organisms and a major source of metabolic energy, both for plants and for animals that depend on plants for food. They are represented by a common formula Cm(H2O)n hence, often called carbohydrates. Saccharides are mainly grouped into: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Saccharides perform numerous structural as well as biological roles in living organisms. Polysaccharides serves as the reservoir of energy (e.g. starch and glycogen) and as structural components. The 5-carbon monosaccharide ribose is an important component of coenzymes (e.g. ATP, FAD and NAD) and the backbone of the genetic molecule known as RNA. The related deoxyribose is a component of DNA. They actively participate in energy storage and transport, signaling, cell-cell communication, pathogenesis, immune response and modulation of protein and lipid function.

Hyaluronic acid participates in tissue remodeling and rapid cell proliferation in some physiological processes including embryonic morphogenesis and wound-healing. Hyaluronic acid activates the PI3K-Akt signaling. Hyaluronic acid acts as a regulator of cancer-associated lymphangiogenesis. Hyaluronic acid also enhances cell invasion and angiogenesis by promoting proteolytic MMP-9 binding to cell surface or stimulating MMP-9 binding to cell surface. Hyaluronic acid can be used as drug delivery for sodium butyrate to improve the anti-proliferative activity on breast cancer cell line. Hyaluronic acid can be studied in joint diseases, wound healing and cancer.
