Halymenia durvillei is a red seaweed with a great potential as sulphated galactan producer collected in the coastal waters of small island of Madagascar (Nosy-be in Indian Ocean). To elucidate the structure of its polysaccharide, NMR (1H and 13C), FTIR, HPAEC and different colorimetric methods were carried out. It has been shown that this polysaccharide, consisted mainly of galactose, was branched by xylose and galactose in minor amounts. Arabinose and fucose were also detected. This galactan was found highly sulphated (42%, w/w) and pyruvylated (1.8%, w/w). Analysis of glycosidic linkages by CPG-MS and 13C NMR indicated that the polysaccharide has the defining linear backbone of alternating 3-β-d-galactopyranosyl units and 4-linked α-l/d-galactopyranosyl residues. 3,6-Anhydrogalactose units have been also detected in minor quantity. This λ-carrageenan like polysaccharide has shown original sulphatation patterns with 2-O (26%) or 2/6-O (58%) sulphated 3-linked β-d-galactopyranosyl units and 6-O (19%) or 2/6-O (47%) 4-linked α-l/d-galactopyranosyl residues.  相似文献

Cryptonemia seminervis biosynthesizes a family of d,l-hybrid galactans based on the classical 3-linked β-d-galactopyranosyl→4-linked α-d- and α-l-galactopyranosyl alternating sequence (A-units→B-units) with major amounts of α-d- and α-l-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-d- and l-galactose and lesser percentages of 3,6-anhydro-2-O-methyl-l-galactose, 2-O-methyl-, 4-O-methyl- and 6-O-methylgalactoses. The dispersion of structures in this family is based on five structural factors, namely: (a) the amount and position of substituent groups as sulfate (major), pyruvic acid ketals, methoxyl and glycosyl side-chain (4-O-methyl galactopyranosyl and/or xylosyl); (b) the ratio galactose/3,6-anhydrogalactose in the B-units; (c) the ratio d,l-galactoses and d,l-3,6-anhydrogalactoses also in the B-units, (d) the formation of diads and (e) the sequence of the diads in the linear backbone. Considering these variables it is not unexpected to find in the fractions studied at least 18 structural units producing highly complex structures. Structural studies carried out in two major fractions (S2S-3 and S2S-4) showed that these galactans were formed mainly by β-d-galactopyranosyl 2-sulfate (20 and 11.9 mol %), β-d-galactopyranosyl 2-sulfate 4,6-O-(1′-carboxyethylidene) (8.9 and 6.0 mol %) and β-d-galactopyranosyl 2,6-sulfate (5.4 and 18.6 mol %), together with 3,6-anhydro-α-l-galactopyranosyl (11.4 and 7.3 mol %) and 3,6-anhydro-α-l-galactopyranosyl 2-sulfate (4.9 and 15.4 mol %) and minor quantities of 12-15 other structural units.Preparative alkaline treatment carried out on fraction (S2S-3) produced a quantitative formation of 3,6-anhydro α-l-galactopyranosyl units from precursor units (α-l-galactose 6-sulfate and α-l-galactose 2,6-sulfate). Kinetic studies on this 3,6-anhydro cyclization show a rate constant of 5.2 × 104 s−1 indicating diads of the type G→L6S/2,6S. Data from chemical, spectroscopic and kinetic studies suggest that, in S2S-3, the agaran block in the d,l-hybrid galactan is composed of the following diads: G(6R)→L6S/2,6S and G2S(P)(2,6S)→LA(2S)(2R)(2M) and the carrageenan block of G2S(P)→D(2S)(2,3S)(3S)(3,6S) in a molar ratio of agaran to carrageenan structures of ∼2:1.  相似文献

A sulphated heteropolysaccharide was isolated from a green seaweed, Caulerpa taxifolia, by extraction with acid and purified via its copper complex. Methylation analysis of both the sulphated and desulphated polysaccharides revealed the presence of 1,4-linked xylose, 1,6-linked galactose, 1,4,6-linked mannose and non-reducing galactose end group units which are all devoid of sulphate groups. In addition 1,4-linked galactose units sulphated at C-3 are also present. Quantitative periodate oxidation showed a consumption of 1.30 and 1.60 moles of oxidant per anhydrosugar unit in the sulphated and desulphated polysaccharides respectively. The oxo-polysaccharides after reduction and hydrolysis revealed the presence of glycerol, erythritol and unoxidized galactose in the mol ratio 11.6:5.1:4.9 and 11.2:5.0:1.0 respectively, besides threitol (3.9 mol) in the desulphated polysaccharide.  相似文献

A sulphated heteropolysaccharide, [alpha]27D + 59.9 degrees, has been isolated from a green seaweed, Cladophora socialis, by extraction with dilute acid and purified by fractional precipitation. The polymer is composed of galactose (58.3%), arabinose (31.8%), xylose (10.6%) and sulphate (16.9%). The results of methylation analysis, periodate oxidation and partial acid hydrolysis studies indicate that the polymer is a branched one and is composed of 1,3-linked galactose and 1,4-linked arabinose units. Xylose is present at the non-reducing end position of the branches. Both arabinose and galactose carry branches. Desulphation and subsequent analysis of the polymer show that some of the arabinose units carry sulphate groups at C-3 and some of the galactose units carry the sulphate groups at C-4 and some at C-4 and C-6 as well.  相似文献

Structure of a fucoidan from the brown seaweed Fucus serratus L   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A fucoidan consisting of L-fucose, sulfate and acetate in a molar proportion of 1:1:0.1 and small amounts of xylose and galactose were isolated from the brown seaweed Fucus serratus L. The fucoidan structure was investigated by 1D and 2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy of its desulfated and de-O-acetylated derivatives as well as by methylation analysis of the native and desulfated polysaccharides. A branched structure was suggested for the fucoidan with a backbone of alternating 3- and 4-linked alpha-L-fucopyranose residues, -->3)-alpha-L-Fucp-(1-->4)-alpha-L-Fucp-(1-->, about half of the 3-linked residues being substituted at C-4 by trifucoside units alpha-L-Fucp-(1-->4)-alpha-L-Fucp-(1-->3)-alpha-L-Fucp-(1-->. Minor chains built up of 4-linked alpha-fucopyranose and beta-xylose residues were also detected, but their location, as well as the position of galactose residues, remained unknown. Sulfate groups were shown to occupy mainly C-2 and sometimes C-4, although 3,4-diglycosylated and some terminal fucose residues may be nonsulfated. Acetate was found to occupy C-4 of 3-linked Fuc and C-3 of 4-linked Fuc in a ratio of about 7:3.  相似文献

Chemical structure of fomitellan A, a polysaccharide with a mitogenic effect isolated from the fruiting bodies of Fomitella fraxinea, has been assigned as a mannofucogalactan with a repeating unit of penta-saccharide, which was composed of a (1→6)-linked d-galactopyranosyl backbone having a C-2 position substituted with disaccharide units of 3-O-d-mannopyranosyl-l-fucopyranosyl residue. The 1H and 13C NMR signals of fomitellan A have been completely assigned by extensive NMR experiments.  相似文献

The structure of a polysaccharide from the red seaweed, Porphyra capensis, growing along the coast of Namibia and South Africa was investigated. Algae growing at different sites and collected at different times gave a polysaccharide extract with similar chemical components. FTIR and NMR spectral analysis showed that the polysaccharide from P. capensis had a typical porphyran structure. It has the linear backbone of alternating 3-linked beta-D-galactose and 4-linked alpha-L-galactose-6-sulfate or 3,6-anhydro-alpha-L-galactose units. The ratio of alpha-L-galactose-6-sulfate and the 3,6-anhydrogalactose is 1.2:1, as reflected by a 1H NMR spectrum. A high degree of methylation occurred at the C-6 position of the D-galactose units. The degree of methylation was 0.64 for the D-galactose residues.  相似文献

Aqueous extraction of gametophytic Schizymenia binderi afforded a polysaccharide composed of galactose and sulfate groups in a molar ratio of 1.0:0.89 together with uronic acids (6.8 wt%) and minor amounts of other neutral sugars. Alkali-treatment of the polysaccharide afforded a polysaccharide devoid of 3,6-anhydrogalactose. 13C NMR spectroscopy of the desulfated alkali-treated polysaccharide showed a backbone structure of alternating 3-linked beta-D-galactopyranosyl and 4-linked alpha-galactopyranosyl units that are predominantly of the D-configuration and partly of the L-configuration. Methylation, ethylation and NMR spectroscopic studies of the alkali-treated polysaccharide indicated that the sulfate groups are located mainly at positions O-2 of 3-linked beta-D-galactopyranosyl residue and at position O-3 of 4-linked-alpha-galactopyranosyl residues, the latter is partially glycosylated at position O-2. The sulfated galactan from S. binderi exhibited highly selective antiviral activity against Herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, with selectivity indices (ratio cytotoxicity/antiviral activity) >1000 for all assayed virus strains. This compound was shown to interfere with the initial adsorption of viruses to cells.  相似文献

The sulfated galactan fraction F1 isolated from the red seaweed, Porphyra haitanensis, showed typical porphyran structure. It has a linear backbone of alternating 3-linked beta-D-galactosyl units and 4-linked alpha-L-galactosyl 6-sulfate and 3,6-anhydro-alpha-L-galactosyl units. The L-residues are mainly composed of alpha-L-galactosyl 6-sulfate units, and the 3,6-anhydrogalactosyl units are minor. Partial methylation occurred at the C-6 position of the D-galactosyl units and at the C-2 position of the 3,6-anhydro-alpha-L-galactosyl units. Intraperitoneal administration of F1 significantly decreased the lipid peroxidation in aging mice. F1 treatment increased the total antioxidant capacity and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in aging mice. The results indicated that F1 had significant in vivo antioxidant activity.  相似文献

A water-soluble polysaccharide DNP-W2 composed of glucose, mannose, and galactose in the molar ratio of 6.1:2.9:2.0 had been isolated from the stems of Dendrobium nobile. Its molecular weight was 1.8 × 104 Da determined by HPGPC. Structural features of DNP-W2 were investigated by a combination of chemical and instrumental analysis, including FTIR, GC, GC-MS, periodate oxidation-Smith degradation, methylation analysis, partial acid hydrolysis, and NMR spectroscopy. The results showed that DNP-W2 is a 2-O-acetylgalactomannoglucan and has a backbone consisting of (1→4)-linked β-d-Glcp, (1→6)-linked β-d-Glcp, and (1→4)-linked β-d-Manp, with branches at O-6 of (1→4)-linked β-d-Glcp and β-d-Manp. The branches are composed of α-d-Galp. The acetyl groups are substituted at O-2 of (1→4)-linked Manp. Preliminary tests in vitro reveals that DNP-W2 can stimulate ConA- and LPS-induced T and B lymphocyte proliferation.  相似文献

Galactans containing methylated galactan moieties were extracted from Indian agarophytes, namely, Gracilaria millardetii and Gracilaria textorii growing naturally along the west coast of India. The galactans were treated with α‐amylase to remove floridean starch. These were characterized by Fourier Transform‐Infrared (FT IR), 13C‐Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (C NMR), Gas Chromatography‐Mass Spectrometry (GC MS), Inductively Coupled Plasma spectroscopy (ICP) and Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) and were found to be composed of d ‐galactose, 6‐O‐methyl‐D‐galactose and 3,6‐anhydro‐L‐galactose. Methylation analyses revealed that both the polysaccharides consisted of 3‐, 2,3‐, 4,6‐linked galactose as well as four‐linked 3,6‐anhydro galactose residues. Both the Gracilaria species produced low gelling (<100 g cm?2) and highly sulfated (2.1% to 4.8%) galactans containing very low heavy metal contents (ICP). These galactans may be of potential utility in food and biological applications.  相似文献

The structure of galactoxylomannan, a capsular polysaccharide from the opportunistic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans, was re-examined by NMR spectroscopy and GC-MS. The residue that is 3-linked to the side chain galactose and was previously assigned as β-d-xylose [Vaishnav, V. V.; Bacon, B. E.; O’Neill, M.; Cherniak, R. Carbohydr. Res.1998, 306, 315-330] was determined to be β-d-glucuronic acid. A revised structure for this polymer is presented, along with a proposal that this compound be termed glucuronoxylomannogalactan (GXMGal).  相似文献

A sulphated heteropolysaccharide, [alpha]D +59 degrees, was isolated from a green seaweed, Spongomorpha indica, by extraction with ammonium oxalate. The polymer is composed of arabinose, xylose, galactose and glucose in the ratio 8.9:1.0:12.0:1.0. Studies showed that the polysaccharide is a complex and multilinked polymer containing arabinose in both furanose and pyranose forms. The core of the polysaccharide is composed of 1,4-linked galactose units. The arabinofuranose units are present as non-reducing end units, as well as jointed through 1,3- and 1,2-linkages. The majority of the arabinopyranose units are joined through 1,4-linkages. Xylose is present as a branch terminating unit. Glucose is joined through 1,4-linkages. Both arabinose and galactose carry branches. Sulphate groups are present on some of the arabinose units at C-2 and on some of the galactose units at C-2 and C-3.  相似文献

The fraction of carrageenan from the red seaweed Gigartina skottsbergii that is precipitated with 0.3-0.4m potassium chloride has been studied by methylation analysis. The results agree qualitatively with the structure previously suggested, except that 3-linked D-galactose 4-sulfate residues are present rather than the corresponding 2-sulfate. For every ten D-galactose residues linked at C-3, there are, on the average, six residues of 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose linked at C-4 and ten sulfate groups (five as 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose 2-sulfate and five as D-galactose 4-sulfate residues).  相似文献

Sulfated polysaccharide isolated from tetrasporic plants of Tichocarpus crinitus was investigated. The polysaccharide was isolated by two methods: with water extraction at 80 °C (HT) and with a mild alkaline extraction (AE). The extracted polysaccharides were presented by non-gelling ones only, while galactose and 3,6-AG were the main monosaccharides, at the same time amount of 3,6-AG in AE polysaccharides was the similar to that of HT. According to methods of spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, the polysaccharide from tetrasporic T. crinitus contains main blocks of 1,3-linked β-d-galactopyranosyl-2,4-disulfates and 1,4-linked 3,6-anhydro-α-d-galactopyranosyl while 6-sulfated 4-linked galactopyranosyl resudies are randomly distributed along the polysaccharide chain. The alkaline treatment of HT polysaccharide results in obtaining polysaccharide with regular structure that composed of alternating 1,3-linked β-d-galactopyranosyl-2,4-disulfates and 1,4-linked 3,6-anhydro-α-d-galactopyranosyl residues. Native polysaccharide (HT) possessed both high anticoagulant and antiplatelet activity measured by fibrin clotting and platelet aggregation induced by collagen. This activity could be connected with peculiar chemical structure of HT polysaccharide which has high sulfation degree and contains also 3,6-anhydrogalactose in the polymer chain.  相似文献

Polysaccharides, galactans, obtained from edible red seaweed Hypnea musciformis were characterized by molecular weight and infrared spectroscopy analysis and were evaluated for antioxidant activity in vitro and for their effects on cell viability. The main components were galactose and sulfate presenting low protein contamination. These sulfated galactans (F1.0) showed a polydisperse profile, and signs in infrared analysis were attributed to a sulfate ester S?=?O bond, the presence of a 3,6-anhydrogalactose C–O bond, nonsulfated β-d-galactose, and a C–O–SO4 bond in galactose C4. The NMR analysis showed signals at about 95 and 92 attributed to anomeric carbon of 4-linked 3,6-anhydro-α-d-galactopyranose residue of κ-carrageenans and 4-linked 3,6-anhydro-α-d-galactopyranose2-sulfate of ι-carrageenans. Sulfated galactan F1.0 showed strong antioxidant activity under lipid peroxidation assay where F1.0 at 8 mg mL?1 promoted 57.92% peroxidation inhibition and displayed the scavenging activity on hydroxyl radicals in a dose-dependent manner leading to 32.5% scavenging of these radicals when 5 mg mL?1 of sulfated galactan F1.0 was used. The sulfated galactan fraction also exhibited strong inhibition on the H2O2-induced hemolysis model. Sulfated galactan F1.0 displayed low cytotoxic action in 3 T3 cells and moderate antitumoral action in HeLa cells. These results suggest that sulfated galactan F1.0 from H. musciformis has antioxidant potential, which is a great effect for a compound used as food and in the food industry.  相似文献

The composition, structure, and thermal stability of carrageenans from unattached Coccotylus truncatus (the Baltic Sea, Estonia) were investigated. The complex polysaccharide was characterized by 13C NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, ICP-OES and gel permeation chromatography methods. The main components of C. truncatus galactan are 3,6-anhydro-α-d-galactose-2-sulfate (30 ± 1.5%) and β-d-galactose-4-sulfate (45.3%), indicating a ι-carrageenan backbone. As the minor components, α-d-galactose-2,6-disulfate (12 ± 2%) from ν-carrageenan and 4′,6′-pyruvated β-d-galactopyranosyl residues (1.4%) from pyruvated α-carrageenan are found to be present, latter being responsible for the undersulfated nature of the galactan. The native polysaccharide with the average molecular weight of about 1500 kDa is highly susceptible to thermal degradation. The high-temperature treatment of this galactan gives products with 3,6-anhydro-α-d-galactose units predominantly at the reducing end. The carrageenan extraction from C. truncatus gives characteristically low yields (12-17%); weak gelling ability of the polysaccharides from this seaweed species (gel strength 30-40 g/cm2) does not depend significantly on extraction conditions.  相似文献

Chemical and spectroscopic methods showed that the water-soluble polysaccharide extracted fromSchizymenia dubyi from Sicily was composed of 1/0.75/1.3 galactose, glucuronic acids and sulfate groups; 45% of total galactose was present as the L-form and no 3,6-anhydrogalactose was detected. The structural characteristics of this galactan of molecular weight 290 000 were close to sulfated polysaccharide with 1,3-, 1,4- and terminal-linked galactose units and secondary ramifications in 1,3,6; 1,4,6; 1,3,4 and 1,6. Permethylation analysis suggested the presence of sulfate groups on positions O-2 and/or O-3 of 1,4-linked galactose and on O-2 and/or O-4 of 1,3-linked residues.Author for correspondence  相似文献

Two related actinomycetes, Glycomyces sp. strain NRRL B-16210 and Stackebrandtia nassauensis NRRL B-16338, were identified as potential phosphonic acid producers by screening for the gene encoding phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) mutase, which is required for the biosynthesis of most phosphonates. Using a variety of analytical techniques, both strains were subsequently shown to produce phosphonate-containing exopolysaccharides (EPS), also known as phosphonoglycans. The phosphonoglycans were purified by sequential organic solvent extractions, methanol precipitation, and ultrafiltration. The EPS from the Glycomyces strain has a mass of 40 to 50 kDa and is composed of galactose, xylose, and five distinct partially O-methylated galactose residues. Per-deutero-methylation analysis indicated that galactosyl residues in the polysaccharide backbone are 3,4-linked Gal, 2,4-linked 3-MeGal, 2,3-linked Gal, 3,6-linked 2-MeGal, and 4,6-linked 2,3-diMeGal. The EPS from the Stackebrandtia strain is comprised of glucose, galactose, xylose, and four partially O-methylated galactose residues. Isotopic labeling indicated that the O-methyl groups in the Stackebrandtia phosphonoglycan arise from S-adenosylmethionine. The phosphonate moiety in both phosphonoglycans was shown to be 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate (2-HEP) by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry following strong acid hydrolysis of the purified molecules. Partial acid hydrolysis of the purified EPS from Glycomyces yielded 2-HEP in ester linkage to the O-5 or O-6 position of a hexose and a 2-HEP mono(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)ester. Partial acid hydrolysis of Stackebrandtia EPS also revealed the presence of 2-HEP mono(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)ester. Examination of the genome sequences of the two strains revealed similar pepM-containing gene clusters that are likely to be required for phosphonoglycan synthesis.  相似文献

The worldwide production of the gelling agent agar mainly rely on the red algae of the order Gracilariales and Gelidiales for raw material. We investigate here the potential of a species from another red algal order, Ceramiales as an agar source. The agar from Laurencia flexilis collected in northern Philippines was extracted using native and alkali treatment procedures and the properties of the extracts were determined using chemical, spectroscopic and physical methods. The native agar, 26% dry weight basis, forms a gel with moderate gel strength (200 g cm?2). Alkali‐treatment did not enhance the gel strength, indicating insignificant amounts of galactose‐6‐sulfate residue, the precursor of the gel‐forming 3,6‐anhydrogalactose (3,6‐AG) moieties. Furthermore, the Fourier transform infrared and chemical analysis showed low sulfate and high 3,6‐AG levels, not affected significantly by the alkali treatment. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis revealed 3‐linked 6‐O‐methyl‐D‐galactose and 4‐linked 3,6‐anhydro‐L‐galactose as the major repeating unit of the native extract, with minor sulfation at 4‐position of the 3‐linked galactose residues. The native and alkali treated agars have comparably high gelling and melting temperatures, whereas the former exhibits higher gel syneresis. Laurencia flexilis could be a good source of agar that possesses physico‐chemical and rheological qualities appropriate for food applications. Due to the inability of alkali treatment to enhance the key gel qualities of the native extract, it is recommended that commercial agar extraction from this seaweed would be done without pursuing this widely‐used industrial procedure.  相似文献
