- Composition, structural characteristics, and antitumor properties of polysaccharides from the brown algae Dictyopteris polypodioides and Sargassum sp.
-
The polysaccharide compositions of the brown algae Dictyopteris polypodioides and Sargassum sp. from the Mediterranean Sea were determined. The principal polysaccharide of the studied algae (about 12% of the dry alga weight) was alginic acid. The content of water-soluble polysaccharides was low. The amount of fucoidan was less than 1% of the dry alga weight; of neutral polysaccharides, less than 0.25%. The monosaccharide compositions of fucoidans and neutral polysaccharides were investigated. Experiments on soft agar-agar models showed that fucoidans from D. polypodioides and Sargassum sp. exhibited antitumor activity against RPMI-7951 human melanoma cells.

- Polysaccharides from Sargassum tenerrimum: Structural features, chemical modification and anti-viral activity
-
Herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) display affinity for cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans with biological relevance in virus entry. Here, we exploit an approach to inhibiting HSV infection by using a sulfated fucoidan, and a guluronic acid-rich alginate derived from Sargassum tenerrimum, mimicking the active domain of the entry receptor. These macromolecules have apparent molecular masses of 30 ± 5 and 26 ± 5 kDa, respectively. They and their chemically sulfated derivatives showed activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Their inhibitory concentration 50% (IC50) values were in the range 0.5-15 μg/ml and they lacked cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 1000 μg/ml. The anti-HSV activity increased with increasing sulfate ester content. Our results suggest the feasibility of inhibiting HSV infection by blocking viral entry with polysaccharide having specific structure.

- Heteroglycan of an edible mushroom Termitomyces clypeatus: Structure elucidation and antioxidant properties
-
A water-soluble heteroglycan (PS) of an average molecular weight ～1.98 ×105 Da was isolated from the aqueous extract of an edible mushroom Termitomyces clypeatus (R. Heim). The structure of the polysaccharide (PS) was established using total hydrolysis, methylation analysis, Smith degradation, and 1D/2D NMR experiments. Total hydrolysis indicated the presence of d-glucose, d-galactose, d-mannose, and l-fucose in a molar ratio of 4.10:1.95:1.0:0.95, respectively. The chemical and NMR analysis indicated the presence of a repeating unit with a backbone consisting of one each of the residues (1→3)-α-d-galactopyranosyl, (1→3)-α-d-mannopyranosyl, (1→3)-α-d-glucopyranosyl, (1→3)-β-d-glucopyranosyl, (1→6)-β-d-glucopyranosyl, and (1→6)-α-d-galactopyranosyl, respectively. The (1→3)-α-d-mannopyranosyl residue was found branched at O-2 with terminal α-l-fucopyranosyl moiety and (1→3)-β-d-glucopyranosyl residue was branched at O-6 with terminal α-d-glucopyranosyl residue. The PS exhibited antioxidant properties.

- Potential anti-gout constituents as xanthine oxidase inhibitor from the fruits of Stauntonia brachyanthera
-
With the aim of finding a better xanthine oxidase inhibitor with potential anti-gout properties, the studies on the fruit of Stauntonia brachyanthera were carried out, which led to the isolation of 12 glycosides, including 4 new nor-oleanane triterpenoids. Their structures were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic (NMR and HR MS) analysis. Two compounds (4 and 11) exhibited significant inhibitory activities on xanthine oxidase with IC50 values of 5.22 and 1.60?μM, respectively. Another five compounds (1, 2, 3, 8 and 10) showed qualified activities. The results suggested that the existences of nor-oleanane triterpenoids and flavonoids in the fruits were responsible for the inhibitory activity on xanthine oxidase that could cut off the production of uric acid. Nor-oleanane triterpenoids, a new leading XO inhibitor, is worthy of further studies on molecular biology level for its mechanisms.

- Studies on isolation, characterization of fucoidan from brown algae Turbinaria decurrens and evaluation of it's in vivo and in vitro anti-inflammatory activities
-
In the present study, the anti-nociception and anti-inflammatory activity of fucoidan isolated from T. decurrens on formalin induced paw-edema in mice model were investigated. The extracted fucoidan contain 54.86% of total sugar, 23.51% of sulfate and 3.4% of protein. The monosaccharide composition analysis revealed that fucoidan encompassed of fucose (59.3%), galactose (12.6%), mannose (9.6%), rhamnose (6.4%) and xylose (11.4%). Further, the structural characterization was done by UV–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, FT-IR and 1HNMR analysis. The fucoidan reduced the licking time thereby suggesting anti-nociceptive effect and decreased the size of paw swelling in the formalin induced inflammatory edema condition. The isolated fucoidan could significantly decreased the MDA and also increase the SOD, CAT, GPx, GST and GSH activity in paw edema tissue of formalin injected mice. Furthermore, fucoidan administration retained p65/NF-κB transcription factor in the cytosol thereby showing down regulation of the gene expression of pro-inflammatory mediators such as IL-1β, COX-2 and MMP-9 in fucoidan treated mice. The anti-inflammatory effect of fucoidan was attributed to its capacity on modulating the levels of enzymatic antioxidants, master regulator NF-κB and pro-inflammatory cytokines. The fucoidan has reduced LPS induced cytotoxicity in IC-21 macrophage at a dose depended on manner.

- Design of Artificial Glycosidases: Metallopeptides that Remove H Antigen from Human Erythrocytes
-
Catalysts that promote carbohydrate degradation have a wide range of potential applications, but the use of either enzyme glycosidases or small-molecule catalysts in biological systems raises significant challenges. Herein, we demonstrate a novel strategy for the design of synthetic agents that mimic natural glycosidases and address current problems for biological use. This strategy is illustrated by application to the development of potential blood substitutes for the rare Bombay blood type that is characterized by a deficiency of H2 antigen. Metallopeptides with 16 to 20 amino acids were constructed as artificial fucosidases that exhibit selective carbohydrate cleavage reactivity toward l-fucose over d-glucose. Selective fucose cleavage from the H2-antigen saccharide enables efficient removal of H2 antigen from erythrocytes and thereby accomplishes the conversion of regular human type-O blood into a potential blood substitute for the rare Bombay blood type.

- L-fucose from vitamin C with only acetonide protection
-
Addition of human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) to baby foods may protect infants from disease. As many simple HMOs are fucosylated this is likely to increase the demand for l-fucose as a synthetic building block. Any chemical synthesis must be cheap to compete with a biotechnological process. Acetonide is the only protecting group we have used in this new synthesis of l-fucose from vitamin C in 27% overall yield (purification by recrystallization; no chromatography required in the entire sequence).

- Structure characterization of the mannofucogalactan isolated from fruit bodies of Quinine conk Fomitopsis officinalis
-
The mannofucogalactan as a major component of water extract was obtained from fruit bodies of Fomitopsis officinalis by extraction with boiling water followed by deproteination, decoloration, and purification using anion-exchange chromatography and size exclusion chromatography. Its structure was characterized using the data of monosaccharide composition, methylation analysis, one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The studied polysaccharide was a branched mannofucogalactan with a backbone composed of partially 3-O-methylated 1,6-O-linked α-D-galactopyranosyl residues. Almost every second residue in the backbone was substituted at O-2 by 3-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-α-L-fucopyranosyl and β-D-galactopyranosyl residues. The non-reducing terminal α-L-fucopyranosyl units, which were identified by GC–MS analyses, appeared to be the part of mannofucogalactan side chains also.

- Scope and limitations of carbohydrate hydrolysis for de novo glycan sequencing using a hydrogen peroxide/metallopeptide-based glycosidase mimetic
-
Acidic hydrolysis is commonly used as a first step to break down oligo- and polysaccharides into monosaccharide units for structural analysis. While easy to set up and amenable to mass spectrometry detection, acid hydrolysis is not without its drawbacks. For example, ring-destruction side reactions and degradation products, along with difficulties in optimizing conditions from analyte to analyte, greatly limits its broad utility. Herein we report studies on a hydrogen peroxide/CuGGH metallopeptide-based glycosidase mimetic design for a more efficient and controllable carbohydrate hydrolysis. A library of methyl glycosides consisting of ten common monosaccharide substrates, along with oligosaccharide substrates, was screened with the artificial glycosidase for hydrolytic activity in a high-throughput format with a robotic liquid handling system. The artificial glycosidase was found to be active towards most screened linkages, including alpha- and beta-anomers, thus serving as a potential alternative method for traditional acidic hydrolysis approaches of oligosaccharides.

- Comparative study on the structural characterization and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of polysaccharide fractions extracted from Sargassum fusiforme at different pH conditions
-
Sargassum fusiforme polysaccharides (SFPs), including SFP-3-40, SFP-3-60, SFP-3-80, SFP-7-40, SFP-7-60, SFP-7-80, SFP-10-40, SFP-10-60, and SFP-10-80, were extracted at different pH (3, 7, and 10), and then precipitated with graded precipitation of 40%, 60% and 80% (v/v) ethanol solution, respectively. Their physicochemical properties and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity were determined. Results showed that SFPs significantly differed in the contents of total sugar, protein, uronic acid, sulfate, the zeta potential, and molecular weight distribution. SFPs, including SFP-10-40, SFP-10-60, and SFP-10-80, had bigger absolute zeta potential value and higher respective average molecular weight in the same ethanol concentration precipitate. All samples were mainly composed of fucose, glucuronic acid, and mannose with different molar ratios. The extraction pH and precipitation ethanol solution concentration caused little changes in functional groups, but significantly altered surface morphology of SFPs. Congo red test revealed that all polysaccharides were not helical polysaccharides. Rheological measurements indicated that SFPs were pseudoplastic fluids and showed elastic behavior of the gel. Except SFP-3-40 and SFP-3-60, all other samples had a stronger α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than that of acarbose. The inhibition type of SFPs against α-glucosidase varied owing to different extraction pH and precipitation ethyl concentration. This study shows that extraction pH can significantly affect the structure and hypoglycemic activity of SFPs and provide a data support for the scientific use of Sargassum fusiforme in industrial production.

- A novel low-molecular-mass pumpkin polysaccharide: Structural characterization, antioxidant activity, and hypoglycemic potential
-
The novel natural low-molecular-mass polysaccharide (SLWPP-3) from pumpkin (Cucurbia moschata) was separated from the waste supernatant after macromolecular polysaccharide production and purified using a DEAE cellulose-52 column and gel-filtration chromatography. Chemical and instrumental studies revealed that SLWPP-3 with a molecular mass of 3.5 kDa was composed of rhamnose, glucose, arabinose, galactose and uronic acid with a weight ratio of 1: 1: 4: 6: 15, and primarily contained →3,6)-β-D-Galp-(1→, →4)-α-GalpA-(1→(OMe), →4)-α-GalpA-(1→, →2,4)-α-D-Rhap-(1→, →3)-β-D-Galp-(1→, →4)-α-D-Glcp, and →4)-β-D-Galp residues in the backbone. The branch chain passes were connected to the main chain through the O-4 atom of glucose and O-3 atom of arabinose. Physiologically, the ability of SLWPP-3 to inhibit carbohydrate-digesting enzymes and DPPH and ABTS radicals, as well as protect pancreatic β cells from oxidative damage by decreasing MDA levels and increasing SOD activities, was confirmed. The findings elucidated the structural types of pumpkin polysaccharides and revealed a potential adjuvant natural product with hypoglycemic effects.

- Novel polysaccharide from Chaenomeles speciosa seeds: Structural characterization, α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity evaluation
-
Purification and structural characterization of a novel polysaccharide fraction from Chaenomeles speciosa seeds were investigated. After hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation, the crude polysaccharide was sequentially purified with Cellulose DEAE-52 and gel-filtration chromatography, and a highly purified polysaccharide fraction (F3) was obtained. The structure of F3 was characterized by high-performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultraviolet-visible (UV), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum, together with methylation, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and Congo-red test analysis. The results indicated that F3 was a homogeneous polysaccharide fraction with a molecular weight of 8.65 × 106 Da, and it was composed of Rha, GlcA, Gal, and Ara in a molar ratio of 6.34:5.73:47.14:40.13. The backbone of F3 was consisted of →3,6)-Galp-(1→, and the side chains of F3 were composed of Araf-(1→, →4)-GlcpA-(1→, →4)-Galp-(1→ and →3)-Rhap-(1→. The hypoglycemic assays demonstrated F3 had good α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition activities, and their IC50 values were 6.24 mg/mL and 4.59 mg/mL respectively. Thus, the polysaccharide from Chaenomeles speciose could be applied as a potential natural source in retarding postprandial hyperglycemia effects.

(Fabaceae). Methanol extract and the isolated compounds were tested against lipase and melanogenesis inhibition activities and resulted in that compound 2 showed 53 and 77% lipase inhibition activity in concentrations of 400 and 800?μg/mL, respectively. For melanogenesis, compounds 2, 3 and 4 exhibited potent melanogenesis inhibition activity where the melanin content in melanoma cells was decreased to be about 57.5, 56 and 61%, respectively, with no obvious melanocytotoxicity. The rest of compounds showed weak to moderate activity. The results of melanogenesis inhibition activity of this study suggested the potential use of Vicia faba flowers as a skin-whitening agent and reveal the flowers to be a rich source of important phytochemicals with antilipase and melanogenesis inhibitory activity.

-
This study determined the optimal conditions for ultrasound-assisted extraction of a water-soluble polysaccharide, Raw Okra Polysaccharide, from the fruit of okra using response surface methodology. The optimal extraction temperature, extraction time and ultrasonic power were 59 °C, 30 min and 522 W, respectively, giving a yield of 10.35 ± 0.11%. ROP was further isolated, lyophilized and purified using a DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow column and Sepharose CL-6B column, revealing three elution peaks subsequently designated ROP ?1, ?2, and ?3, respectively. Of these, ROP-2 showed the highest yield, and was therefore selected for physicochemical analysis and evaluation of antioxidant activity. Gas chromatography, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and high-performance liquid chromatography were used to characterize the primary structural features and molecular weight, revealing that ROP-2 is composed of glucose, mannose, galactose, arabinose, xylose, fructose, and rhamnose (molar percentages: 28.8, 12.5, 13.1, 15.9, 9.2, 13.7, and 6.8%, respectively) and has an average molecular weight of 1.92 × 105 Da. A superoxide radical scavenging assay and DPPH radical scavenging assay further revealed the significant in vitro antioxidant activity of ROP-2. These findings present an effective technique for extraction of the natural antioxidant ROP-2, warranting further analysis of its potential application in the food industry.

Six new partially acylated resin glycosides were isolated from convolvulin of Ipomoea purga, Ipomoea stans, and Ipomoea murucoides (Convolvulaceae). The structures of compounds 1–6 were elucidated by a combination of NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The structure of jalapinoside B (1) consists of a hexasaccharide core bonded to an 11-hydroxytetradecanoic (convolvulinic) acid forming a macrolactone acylated by a 2-methylbutanoyl, a 3-hydroxy-2-methylbutanoyl, and a quamoclinic acid B units. Purginoic acid A (2) contains a hexasaccharide core bonded to a convolvulinic acid acylated by a 3-hydroxy-2-methylbutanoyl unit. Stansin A (4) is an ester-type heterodimer, and consists of two stansoic acid A (3) units, acylated by 2-methylbutanoic and 3-hydroxy-2-methylbutanoic acids. The site of lactonization was located at C-3 of Rhamnose, and the position for the ester linkage of the monomeric unit B on the macrolactone unit A was established as C-4 of the terminal rhamnose. Compounds 5 and 6 are glycosidic acids. Murucinic acid II (5) is composed of a pentasaccharide core bonded to an 11-hydroxyhexadecanoic (jalapinolic) acid, acylated by an acetyl unit. Stansinic acid I (6) is a tetrasaccharide core bonded to a jalapinolic acid, acylated by 2-methylbutanoyl and 3-hydroxy-2-methylbutanoyl units. Preliminary testing showed the cytotoxicity of compounds 1–6 toward OVCAR and UISO-SQC-1 cancer cell lines. In addition, compound 1 showed an antiproliferative activity on glioma C6 and RG2 tumor cell lines. Copyright

- Antioxidant Flavonols and Phenolic Compounds from Atraphaxis frutescens and Their Inhibitory Activities against Insect Phenoloxidase and Mushroom Tyrosinase
-
Chemical investigation of the aerial parts of Atraphaxis frutescens resulted in the isolation of five 7-methoxyflavonols with pyrogallol B-ring moieties (1-5), a fisetinidol glucoside (13), and a benzyl glycoside (18), together with 26 known compounds including flavonoids, phenylpropanoid amides, anthraquinone glycosides, lignans, and a benzyl derivative. The principal chemical structural feature of the isolated compounds was either a pyrogallol or catechol B-ring moiety, and they showed potent 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activities. To assess the effects of these antioxidants on biological enzymes, their inhibitory effects against an insect phenoloxidase and a mushroom tyrosinase were evaluated. This study indicated that insect phenoloxidase was inhibited by phenylpropanoid amides and that mushroom tyrosinase was inhibited by the characteristic 7-methoxyflavonol 3-O-rhamnopyranosides.

From the aerial parts, pericarps and roots of Solenostemma argel, three new pregnane glycosides (1–3) with two known ones and a new phenolic glycoside (4) have been isolated. Their structures were established by extensive 1D – and 2D NMR and mass spectroscopic analysis. The cytotoxicity of all compounds was evaluated against two human tumor cell lines (SW 480, MCF-7), but none of them was active in the concentration range 0.9–59.0?μM. Compounds 2 and the known argeloside F at non toxic concentrations for the PBMCs (27.3?μM and 27.6?μM, respectively) significantly decreased the Il-1β production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs. All isolated compounds showed a significant antioxidant potential with ORAC values in the concentration range 3481–9617?μmol?eq. Trolox/100?g.

- Molecular structure, chemical properties and biological activities of Pinto bean pod polysaccharide
-
Pinto bean pod polysaccharide (PBPP) was successfully extracted with yield of 38.5 g/100 g and the PBPP gave total carbohydrate and uronic acid contents of 286.2 mg maltose equivalent/g and 374.3 mg Gal/g, respectively. The Mw of PBPP was 270.6 kDa with intrinsic viscosity of 0.262 dm3/g, which composed of mannose (2.5%), galacturonic acid (15.0%), rhamnose (4.0%), glucose (9.0%), galactose (62.2%), xylose (2.9%) and arabinose (4.3%) with trace amount of ribose and fucose. The result suggested that PBPP has a spherical conformation with a highly branched structure. Fourier Transform Infrared analysis showed that PBPP has a similar structure as commercial pectin with an esterification degree of 59.9%, whereas scanning electron microscopy study showed that the crude polysaccharide formed a thin layer of film that was made of multiple micro strands of fibre. PBPP exhibited substantial free radical scavenging activity (7.7%), metal reducing capability (2.04 mmol/dm3) and α-amylase inhibitory activity (97.6%) at a total amount of 1 mg. PBPP also exhibited high water- and oil-holding capacities (3.6 g/g and 2.8 g/g, respectively). At a low concentration, PBPP exhibited emulsifying activity of 39.6% with stability of 38.6%. Apart from that, PBPP was able to show thickening capability at low concentration (0.005 kg/dm3).

- A new steroidal saponin, furotrilliumoside from Trillium tschonoskii inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in Raw264.7 cells by targeting PI3K/Akt, MARK and Nrf2/HO-1 pathways
-
A new steroidal saponin, furotrilliumoside (FT) was isolated from the roots and rhizomes of Trillium tschonoskii Maxim. Its structure was elucidated on the basis of 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopic data as well as HR-ESI-MS analysis. FT showed superior activity of inhibiting NO production of RAW264.7 cells induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the preliminary biological screening. In order to develop novel therapeutic drug for acute and chronic inflammatory disorders, the anti-inflammatory activity and underlying mechanism of FT were investigated in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. The results showed that FT could reduce LPS-induced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and then resulted in the decrement of NO production. More meaningful, FT could down-regulate the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and decrease the expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), in both gene and protein levels. In mechanism study, FT blocked the LPS-induced upregulation of phosphorylated phosphoinositide-3-kinase and Akt (PI3K/Akt). Furthermore, FT inhibited the translocation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) through the prevention of inhibitory factor kappa B alpha (IκBα) phosphorylation and degradation and also suppressed the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathway in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. In addition, FT upregulated heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression via nuclear translocation of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). Taken together, FT might act as a natural agent to treat some inflammatory diseases by targeting PI3K/Akt, MARK and Nrf2/HO-1 pathways.

- Antitumor and immunomodulatory activities of a water-soluble polysaccharide from Chaenomeles speciosa
-
Abstract In this study, a water-soluble polysaccharide (CSP) was successfully purified from Chaenomeles speciosa by DEAE-Sepharose and Sephadex G-100 column chromatography. CSP had a weight-average molecular weight of about 6.3 × 104 Da and was composed of glucose (Glc), galactose (Gal), rhamnose (Rha) and arabinose (Ara) with a relative molar ratio of 4.6:1.3:0.8:0.5. CSP could not only inhibit the growth of S180 tumor transplanted in mice, but also increase the relative spleen index and body weight of tumor bearing mice. Moreover, concanavalin A (ConA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced splenocyte proliferation and peritoneal macrophage phagocytosis were also enhanced after CSP administration. Furthermore, CSP treatment could improve delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) and promote the secretion of IL-2, TNF-α and IFN-γ in serum. The overall findings suggest that the antitumor effect of CSP is might be associated with its potent immunostimulatory activity.

- Characterization and biological activities of a novel polysaccharide isolated from raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) fruits
-
Abstract A water-soluble polysaccharide namely RCP-II from raspberry fruits was obtained by complex enzyme method followed by successive purification using macroporous resin D4020 and Sephadex G-100 columns. RCP-II was an acidic heteropolysaccharide and the characteristic structure of polysaccharide was determined. The carbohydrate of RCP-II was composed with galacturonic acid, rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, glucose and galactose in a molar ratio of 1.00:0.55:1.19:0.52:0.44:1.90 and the average molecular weight was estimated to be 4013 Da, based on dextran standards. RCP-II presented high scavenging activity toward DPPH?, HO?, O2?- in a concentration-dependent manner. The determination of the inhibitory activity on protein glycation showed that in 14 days of incubation the inhibitory ability of RCP-II was more effective on the development of non-enzymatic glycation reaction at early phase than that at the following two phases.

- A new flavonol triglycoside derived from Anoectochilus elwesii on stimulating glucose uptake in insulin-induced human HepG2 cells
-
A novel flavonol triglycoside (4), isorhamnetin-3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl (1→2)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl (1→6)-β-d-glucopyranoside, named elwesoside A, together with six known flavonols (1-3, 5-7) was isolated from Anoectochilus elwesii (Clarke ex Hook. f.) King et Pantl. and its structure was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods and comparison with the literature data. All compounds were first reported in this plant and two of them (4 and 5) were the first examples of flavonol triglycosides isolated from Anoectochilus genus. The effects of 1-7 were evaluated on insulin-treated human HepG2 cells under high glucose conditions for stimulating glucose uptake activities. The novel compound (4) displayed highly potent dose-dependent effect on the stimulation of glucose uptake in insulin-resistant human HepG2 cells.

- Purification, characterization and antitumor activity of polysaccharides extracted from Phellinus igniarius mycelia
-
Abstract Water-soluble intracellular polysaccharides (IPS) were extracted from cultured mycelia of Phellinus igniarius. The IPS were purified by ethanol fractional precipitation, ion-exchange and size exclusion chromatography in that order. Homogeneous polysaccharide IPSW-1, IPSW-2, IPSW-3, and IPSW-4 were obtained, which molecular characteristics were examined using multiangle laser-light scattering and refractive index detector system. The average molecular weights of them were 34.1, 17.7, 15.1, 21.7 kDa, respectively. GC analysis indicated that IPSW-1, IPSW-2 and IPSW-3 all only contained glucose, while IPSW-4 was composed of rhamnose, xylose, mannose, glucose and galactose in a molar ratio of 1.29:1.21:1:43.86:1.86. UV and IR analysis suggested they belonged to α-type of the pyran group and didn't contain protein. These homogeneous polysaccharides could inhibit the growth of SW480 and HepG2 cells to a certain extent in a dose-dependent manner. So they could be beneficial for the further development of a natural carcinoma preventive agent and functional food.

- Purification and structural data of a highly substituted exopolysaccharide from Pseudomonas stutzeri AS22
-
Pseudomonas stutzeri AS22, when grown on media containing starch and yeast extract and incubated at 30 °C and 200 rpm for 24 h, was found to produce an acidic and high-molecular mass exopolysaccharide (EPS22). The EPS22 was purified and a yield of 1.3 g/l was achieved. The average molecular mass of the EPS22 was determined by high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) and showed an average molecular mass of 9.9 × 105 Da and a polydispersity index Mw/Mn (Mw, weight-average and Mn, number-average) of 1.197 ± 0.015. Structural data of this EPS22 were determined using a combination approach including monosaccharide composition (HPAEC-PAD and GLC), methylation analysis (GC-MS) and NMR spectroscopy analysis. EPS22 was found to be a complex heteropolysaccharide with a repeating unit mainly composed of glucose, mannose and lactyl rhamnose in a molar ratio of 1:1.1:0.7. The acidic nature of the polysaccharide is due to the presence of three non-osidic substituents consisting of a lactyl, acetyl, and pyruvyl groups.

- Chiral separation of the clinically important compounds fucose and pipecolic acid using ce: Determination of the most effective chiral selector
-
In this study, simple electrophoretic methods were developed for the chiral separation of the clinically important compounds fucose and pipecolic acid. In recent years, these analytes, and particularly their individual enantiomers, have attracted considerable attention due to their role in biological functions and disorders. The detectability and sensitivity of pipecolic acid and fucose were improved by reacting them with fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl chloride (FMOC-Cl) and 5-amino-2-naphthalene-sulfonic acid (ANSA), respectively. The enantioseparation conditions were optimized by initially investigating the type of the chiral selector. Different chiral selectors, such as polymeric surfactants and cyclodextrins, were used and the most effective ones were determined with regard to resolution and analysis time. A 10-mM β-cyclodextrin was able to separate the enantiomers of ANSA-DL-fucose and the polymeric surfactant poly(sodium N-undecanoyl-LL-leucine-valinate) was able to separate the enantiomers of FMOC-DL-pipecolic acid, with resolution values of 3.45 and 2.78, respectively. Additional parameters, such as the concentration and the pH of the background electrolyte (BGE), the concentration of the chiral selector, and the addition of modifiers were examined in order to optimize the separations. The addition of the chiral ionic liquid D-alanine tert-butyl ester lactate into the BGE was also investigated, for the first time, in order to improve resolution of the enantiomers. 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

- Antitumor and immunomodulatory activities of a polysaccharide from Artemisia argyi
-
A water-soluble polysaccharide (FAAP-02), composed of N-acetyl-d- glucosamine, glucose, mannose, galactose, rhamnose arabinose, xylose and ribose, with an average molecular weight of 5169 Da, was isolated from Artemisia argyi. The antitumor and immunomodulatory activities of FAAP-02 were evaluated in Sarcoma 180 (S180) tumor-bearing mice by intraperitoneal administration. As a result, FAAP-02 significantly inhibited the growth of the S180 transplanted tumors and prolonged the survival time of the tumor-bearing mice. Moreover, FAAP-02 could obviously increase the thymus and spleen indices, the levels of serum Interleukin 2 (IL-2), Interleukin 6 (IL-6), Interleukin 12 (IL-12) and tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF-α) and the expression of CD4+ and CD8+ splenic T lymphocytes which were suppressed by the transplanted tumor or/and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the mice. These results indicated that the antitumor activity of FAAP-02 might be associated with its immunostimulatory effects.

- Identification of carbohydrate isomers in flavonoid glycosides after hydrolysis by hydrophilic interaction chromatography
-
A method for carbohydrate isomers (saccharide units) identification in flavonoid glycosides after hydrolysis by an HPLC system with two detectors (diode array UV-VIS detector and evaporative light scattering detector) was set up in this work. Experimental procedure was optimized with two types of model glycosides, namely rutin and hesperidin. The model glycosides were hydrolyzed to saccharide units and aglycone parts; the aglycone was characterized by its UV-VIS spectrum and the saccharide unit was identified by its retention time and elution profile (anomeric signals). Acidic and enzymatic hydrolyses were compared in the first step of the method; in acidic hydrolysis, trifluoracetic acid was used, while glucosidase, galactosidase, and hesperidinase were used in enzymatic hydrolysis. A complete enzymatic hydrolysis was achieved with hesperidin and neohesperidin, but not with 3-O-glycosides. The method was applied for the identification of a glycone from a glycoside isolated from Polygonum lapathifolium (Polygonaceae sp.).

- Adjuvant effect of Atractylodis macrocephalae Koidz. Polysaccharides on the immune response to foot-and-mouth disease vaccine
-
Present study was designed to investigate the polysaccharide (RAMPS) extracted from the rhizome of Atractylodis macrocephalae Koidz. (RAM) for its effect on the immune responses to foot-and-mouth (FMD) vaccine. Thirty-five ICR mice were randomly distributed into 5 groups with 7 mice in each. After oral administration of RAMPS for 4 days at a dose of 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1 g or 0.25 g of RAM, respectively, the animals were immunized twice with FMD vaccine at 2-week intervals. Three weeks later, serum IgG, IFN-γ/IL-5, splenocyte proliferation, and mRNA expression of cytokines by splenocytes were measured. Results indicated that RAMPS and RAM significantly enhanced IgG titers, IgG subclasses, IFN-γ, IL-5 and the splenocyte proliferations stimulated by concanavalin A, lipopolysacharide, and FMDV (P 0.05). Therefore, RAMPS and RAM increased both cellular and humoral immune responses to vaccination, and may have a potential as an oral adjuvant to improve vaccination.
