[Antiviral action of sulfated polysaccharides].
The literature data on the structure and biological spectrum of sulfated polysaccharides (fucoidans) from the sea brown algae are presented. The review includes the data on the experimental studies and the results of the author's researches on the sulfated polysaccharides inhibitory action on virus adsorption on eukaryotic cells. Mechanisms of the antiviral action of the fucoidans from the sea brown algae are discussed.
