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.

A new phenylpropanoid glycoside, named α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1?2)-β-D-[4″-(8E)-7-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-8-propenoate, 1″-O-(7S)-7-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-7-methoxy-ethyl]-glucopyranoside (1), together with nine known compounds (2–10) were isolated from the active fraction (n-Butanol fraction) of Gynura cusimbua for the first time. The known compounds (2–10) were identified as phenylpropanoid glycosides on the basis of extensive spectral data and references. The antiangiogenic activities of compounds (1–10) were evaluated by MTT assay on HUVECs and wild-type zebrafish in vivo model assay. As a result, compounds 1, 6, 7, 8 and 10 exhibited certain antiangiogenic activities.

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.
