Abstract:
The review outlines the main aspects of the use of pectin polysaccharides in medicine, both as independent medicinal substances and as a material for creating systems for targeted delivery of drugs, as well as for regenerative medicine and biomedical engineering. A number of studies demonstrate that pectin polysaccharides are physiologically active substances with immunomodulating properties, including anti-inflammatory activity, they lower cholesterol and triglyceride in the blood serum, normalize glucose metabolism, bind and remove toxins and radionuclides from the body, regulate work and provide protection of the gastrointestinal tract, have anticarcinogenic and antimetastatic effects.
