Fractionation of the crude extract was done with the concentration of 0.8 volumes of acetone, obtaining the FRF 0.8. The physicochemical characterization showed that it was a fucana sulfated. Anti-inflammatory activity was assessed by paw edema model by the high rates of inhibition of the edema and the best results were in the fourth hour after induction (100 ? 1.4% at the dose of 75 mg / kg) and by the strong inhibitory activity of the enzyme myeloperoxidase (91.45% at the dose of 25 mg / kg). The hepataprote??o was demonstrated by measurements of enzymatic and metabolic parameters indicative of liver damage, such as bilirubin (reduction in 68.81%, 70.68% and 68.21% for bilirubin total, direct and indirect, respectively at a dose of 75 mg / kg), ALT, AST and γ-GT (decrease of 76.93%, 44.58% and 50% respectively at a dose of 75 mg / kg) by analysis of histological slides of liver tissue, confirming that hepatoprotective effect the polymers of carbohydrates, showing a reduction in tissue damage caused by CCl4 and the inhibition of the enzyme complex of cytochrome P 450 (increasing sleep time in 54.6% and reducing the latency time in 71.43%). The effectiveness of the FRF 0.8 angiogenesis was examined in chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of fertilized eggs, with the density of capillaries evaluated and scored, showing an effect proangig?nico at all concentrations tested FRF (10 mg- 1000 mg). The FRF showed antioxidant activity on free radicals (by inhibiting Superoxide Radical in 55.62 ? 2.10%, Lipid Peroxidation in 100.15 ? 0.01%, Hydroxyl Radical in 41.84 ? 0.001% and 71.47 Peroxide in ? 2.69% at concentration of 0.62 mg / mL). The anticoagulant activity was observed with prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) at 50 mg (> 240 s), showing that its action occurs in the intrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade. Thus, our results indicate that these sulfated polysaccharides are an important pharmacological target / Este estudo analisa a composi??o f?sico-qu?mica e os efeitos farmacol?gicos da FRF 0,8 da alga marrom Lobophora variegata. O fracionamento do extrato bruto foi feito com a concentra??o de 0,8 volumes de acetona, obtendo a FRF 0,8. A caracteriza??o f?sico-qu?mica mostrou que se tratava de uma fucana sulfatada. Foi verificada a atividade antinflamat?ria pelo modelo de edema de pata, atrav?s das altas taxas de inibi??o do edema e os melhores resultados foram na quarta hora ap?s a indu??o (100 ? 1,4% com a dose de 75 mg/kg) e pela forte atividade inibidora da enzima mieloperoxidase (91,45% com a dose de 25 mg/kg). A hepataprote??o foi demonstrada pelas dosagens de par?metros metab?licos e enzim?ticos indicativos de dano hep?tico, como bilirrubina (redu??o em 68,81%, 70,68% e 68,21% para bilirrubinas total, direta e indireta, respectivamente na dose de 75 mg/kg), ALT , AST e γ-GT (diminui??o em 76,93%, 44,58% e 50%, respectivamente na dose de 75 mg/kg), pela an?lise das l?minas histol?gicas do tecido hep?tico, que confirmam esse efeito hepatoprotetor dos pol?meros de carboidrato, mostrando uma redu??o no dano tecidual causado por CCl4, e pela inibi??o do complexo enzim?tico do citocromo P 450 (aumentando o tempo de sono em 54,6% e reduzindo o tempo de lat?ncia em 71,43%). A efic?cia sobre a angiogenese da FRF 0,8 foi examinada na membrana corioalant?ica (CAM) de ovos fertilizados, com a densidade dos capilares avaliadas e pontuadas, mostrando um efeito proangig?nico em todas as concentra??es de FRF testadas (10 μg-1000 μg). A FRF apresentou a??o antioxidante sobre radicais livres (inibindo o Radical Super?xido em 55,62?2,10%, Peroxida??o Lip?dica em 100,15?0,01%, Radical Hidroxila em 41,84?0,001% e Per?xido em 71,47?2,69%, todos na concentra??o de 0,62 mg/mL). A atividade anticoagulante foi verificada com o prolongamento do tempo de tromboplastina parcial ativada (aPTT) a 50 μg (>240 s), mostrando que sua a??o ocorre na via intr?nseca da cascata de coagula??o. Sendo assim, nossos resultados indicam que estes polissacar?deos sulfatados constituem um importante alvo farmacol?gico
