Isolation and analysis of a novel acidic polysaccharide from the case of squid pen.

A new non-sulphated acidic polysaccharide with an average molecular mass of 55 kDa was isolated from squid pen case after papain digestion and beta-elimination. This polysaccharide contains mainly L-iduronic acid, D-glucuronic acid, D-galactosamine, D-glucosamine and significant amounts of neutral sugars as glucose, galactose and fucose. The polysaccharide was not degraded to the relative disaccharides by chondroitinases ABC, AC and B, hyaluronidase and keratanase or by treatment with heparinases, suggesting a structure different from those of known glycosaminoglycans. The polysaccharide cannot form self aggregates.     

Physico-chemical characterization, antioxidant and anticancer activities in vitro of a novel polysaccharide from Melia toosendan Sieb. Et Zucc fruit

A novel water-soluble polysaccharide pMTPS-3, obtained from Melia toosendan Sieb. Et Zucc fruit by hot-water extraction and ethanol precipitation, was fractionated by DEAE-52 cellulose anion-exchange and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatography. Its primary structural features and molecular weight were characterized by Fourier infrared spectrometry (FTIR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and gas chromatography (GC). And the antioxidant activities of pMTPS-3 in vitro were evaluated by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay, superoxide radical scavenging assay and hydroxyl radical scavenging assay.

The purified pMTPS-3 was revealed to have notable scavenging activity against DPPH radical in a concentration-dependent manner and present a moderate inhibition of superoxide radicals with an IC₅₀ (5.6 mg/ml), and potent inhibiting power for hydroxyl radical compared with crude polysaccharide. Further, it exhibited strong inhibition effect in vitro on the growth of human gastric cancer BGC-823 cells. It is strongly evidenced that pMTPS-3 purified from the crude polysaccharides of Melia toosendan Sieb. Et Zucc could be explored as a potential antioxidant and therapeutics.     

Carboxymethylation of a polysaccharide extracted from Ganoderma lucidum enhances its antioxidant activities in vitro

The chemical carboxylmethylated polysaccharide (C-GLP), which derived from water-insoluble crude Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide (GLP), was prepared. Water solubility, chemical characterization, and antioxidant activities in vitro of C-GLP were determined. The solubility of C-GLP in distilled water reached 100 mg/ml, which was much higher than the solubility of GLP. Chemical analysis indicated that C-GLP was composed of Glc:Man:Gal = 33.0:1.0:3.4 with a molecular weight of 1.8 × 10⁶ Da and a carboxymethyl content of 11.07%. The signals of carboxymethyl were found in IR and ¹³C NMR spectra. Moreover, a high antioxidant activity of C-GLP was observed, especially in scavenging of hydroxyl radical (83.7% at 5 mg/ml) and hydrogen peroxide (51.6% at 10 mg/ml). This study indicates the effects of carboxymethylation on water-insoluble polysaccharide and explores a potential antioxidant in food industry and pharmaceuticals.     

Structure elucidation and antioxidant activity of a novel polysaccharide isolated from Boletus speciosus Forst

In this study, a novel heteropolysaccharide was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Boletus speciosus Forst through DEAE-cellulose column and Sephadex G-200 column. The Boletus speciosus Forst polysaccharide (BSFP-1) had a molecular weight of 1.33×10(4) Da and was mainly composed of l-Man and d-Gal which ratios were 2:1. Structural features of Boletus speciosus Forst polysaccharide (BSFP-1) were investigated by a combination of total hydrolysis, methylation analysis, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), infrared (IR) spectra and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The results indicated that Boletus speciosus Forst polysaccharide (BSFP-1) had a backbone of (1→4)-α-l-mannopyranose residues which branches at O-6 based on the experimental results. The branches were mainly composed of one with →1)-α-d-galactopyranose residue. The antioxidant activity of BSFP-1 was evaluated with two biochemical methods, including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH(-)) radical scavenging, scavenging activity of 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-suphonic acid)diammonium (ABTS(+)) radical. The results indicated that BSFP-1 showed strong antioxidant.     

Phosphorylated modification and in vitro antioxidant activity of Radix Hedysari polysaccharide

Phosphorylated modification of a polysaccharide obtained from Radix Hedysari (RHP) was studied. Three phosphorylated polysaccharides (RHPP) with variable degrees of substitution (DS(p)) were obtained with 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and N, N' Dicyclocarbodiimide (DCC) as catalyst. The structures of RHPP were characterized by FT-IR spectra and (13)C NMR spectra. Depending on different reaction time, RHPP showed different DS(p) ranging from 0.30 to 0.66, and different Mw ranging from 86.6 to 89.7?KDa. Compared with RHP, RHPP exhibited superior antioxidant activities in vitro, which indicated that phosphorylated modification could enhance antioxidant activities of RHP. Furthermore, it was obvious that the DS(p) had a significant effect on the antioxidant activity.

In vitro antioxidant activities of sulfated polysaccharide fractions extracted from Corallina officinalis

Sulfated polysaccharides (F1, F2) from seaweed Corallina officinalis were isolated through anion-exchange column chromatography. Their chemical characteristics were determined by GC, HPLC, FT-IR and UV spectra. F1 and F2 contained only two monosaccharides, namely galactose and xylose. The antioxidant activities of F1, F2 and the de-sulfated polysaccharides (DF-1, DF-2) in vitro were investigated, including hydroxyl radicals scavenging effect, superoxide radical scavenging capacity, DPPH radical activity and reducing power. As expected, antioxidant assay showed that the two sulfated polysaccharide fractions (F1, F2) possessed considerable antioxidant properties and had more excellent abilities than de-sulfated polysaccharides (DF-1, DF-2).     

Sulfated modification, characterization and antitumor activities of Radix hedysari polysaccharide

Sulfated modification of a polysaccharide obtained from Radix hedysari (RHP) was studied. Four sulfated derivatives (RHPS) with variable degrees of substitution (DS) were obtained by the chlorosulfonic acid method with ionic liquids (ILs) as solvent and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as catalyst. The structures of RHPS were characterized by FT-IR spectra and (13)C NMR spectra, and the results indicated that the sulfated groups were modified mainly at the C-6 position and C-2 position. Four kinds of RHPS showed different DS ranging from 0.63 to 1.45, and different weight-average molecular mass (Mw) ranging from 60.8 to 71.1kDa with a little degradation. Compared with RHP, all of RHPS exhibited obvious antitumor activity on A549 cells and BGC-823 cells in vitro. However, they had no obvious influence on HEK293 cells, which indicated that they had low toxicity to normal cells. Flow cytometric studies indicated that the treatment of RHPS against A549 cells and BGC-823 cells could mediate the cell-cycle arrest in the G1 phase.

Hyperbranched acidic polysaccharide from green tea

An acidic tea polysaccharide (ALTPS), isolated from green tea ( Camellia sinensis ), was characterized as a hyperbranched glycoprotein containing the acidic heteropolysaccharide chains and the protein residues from the results of UV-vis, FTIR, one- and two-dimensional NMR, GC, GC-MS, and amino acid analyses. Solution properties of ALTPS were investigated by static and dynamic light scattering analyses and viscometry. The results indicated that the viscosity behavior of ALTPS exhibited a typical polyelectrolyte effect in distilled water, which may be avoided by adding salts. The low intrinsic viscosity of ALTPS in the solutions (8-15 mL/g) is attributed to its hyperbranched structure. By application of the polymer solution theory, it was revealed that ALTPS was present in a sphere-like conformation in the solutions as a result of the hyperbranched structure. The TEM image further confirmed that ALTPS existed in a spherical conformation in aqueous NaCl solution. Glucose was absorbed by ALTPS, which may be one of blood glucose lowering mechanisms of tea polysaccharides.     

Chitosan gallate as a novel potential polysaccharide antioxidant: an EPR study

A novel biopolymer-based antioxidant, chitosan conjugated with gallic acid (chitosan galloylate, chitosan-GA), is proposed. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) demonstrates a wide range of antioxidant activity for chitosan-GA as evidenced from its reactions with oxidizing free radicals, that is, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-H₂O₂, carbon-centered alkyl radicals, and hydroxyl radicals. The EPR spectrum of the radical formed on chitosan-GA was attributed to the semiquinone radical of the gallate moiety. The stoichiometry and effective concentration (EC₅₀) of the DPPH free radical with chitosan-GA show that the radical scavenging capacity is maintained even after thermal treatment at 100 °C for an hour. Although the degree of substitution of GA on chitosan was about 15%, its antioxidant capacity, that is, the reaction with carbon-centered and hydroxyl radicals, is comparable to that of GA.

Structural characterization and immuno-modulating activities of a polysaccharide from Ganoderma sinense

A protein-bound polysaccharide (GSP-4) with a molecular weight of 8.3×10(5)Da, was isolated from the water extract of the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma sinense. Chemical study revealed that this fraction was composed of mannose, glucose and galactose in the molar ratio of 4.7:27.1:1.0, with the sugar residues of t-, 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,6-, 1,3,4- and 1,3,6-linked Glcp, t-linked Galp, and 1,6-linked Manp. The immnomodulatory effects of GSP-4 were assessed using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and murine monocyte/macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. We found that GSP-4 could significantly stimulate the production of the immunomodulatory markers tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-12, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in PBMCs. This observation was further substantiated in RAW 264.7 cells, as indicated by the increase of nitric oxide (NO), TNF-α and IL-6 production. GSP-4 also enhanced the expression of inducible NO synthase mRNA in dose-dependent manner. Our current finding gives the first piece of evidence to support that GSP-4 possesses some promising immunomodulating effects and it could be a potential candidate to be further used in related cancer immunotherapy.     

Characterization of a neutral polysaccharide with antioxidant capacity from red wine

A neutral fraction (PS-SI) (0.3 g/L) with MW of 74 kDa, which contained galactose, arabinose, mannose, and glucose in the molar ratio of 1.0:0.6:0.4:0.2 was obtained by treatment of the whole polysaccharide extracted from red wine with cetrimide, followed by gel permeation chromatography. Spectroscopic and methylation analyses indicated that PS-SI is a mixture of neutral polysaccharides, consisting mainly of β (1→3)-linked galactopyranosyl residues, with side chains of galactopyranosyl residues at positions O-6. Arabinofuranosyl residues linked α (1→5), α-mannopyranosyl and glucosyl residues appear to be components of different polysaccharides. The in vitro antioxidant capacity of fractions of wine polysaccharide was studied by hydroxyl radical scavenging and ORAC assays. Fraction PS-SI presented the strongest effect on hydroxyl radicals (IC₅₀ = 0.21).
