Structural characterization of the water-extractable polysaccharides from Sophora subprostrata roots
نویسندگان
چکیده
The crude polysaccharide SSa, obtained from the roots of Sophora subprostrata by boiling-water extraction and ethanol precipitation, was fractionated by anion-exchange and gel permeation chromatography, giving four polysaccharide fractions termed SSa1, SSa2, SSa3, and SSa4. Their structural features were investigated by sugar analysis, methylation analysis, partial hydrolysis, and NMR spectroscopy. SSa1 and SSa2 were both characterized as highly branched amylopectins with small average unit chain length of 8–10 except that SSa2 was contaminated with small amount of arabinogalactan. SSa3 was mainly an arabinogalactan, attached to a rhamnogalacturonan core. SSa4 was a rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I) pectic polysaccharide having a backbone consisting of 1,4-linked a-D-galacturonic acid and 1,2-linked a-Lrhamnose, with various branches attached to O-4 of L-rhamnose. q 2003 Elsevier Ltd.

Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) is a small northern fruit that has been harvested historically by native North Americans and Northern Europeans. These berries have been traditionally consumed as food and for medicinal use. Lingonberries are reported to be rich in vitamin C, benzoic acid, and anthocyanins, which have been implicated in health benefits associated with the consumption of li...

متن کاملSuppression by water extracts of Sophora plants of sucrose-induced hyperglycemia in rats and inhibition of intestinal disaccharidases in vitro.
Partially purified hot-water extracts of the roots of plants of the Sophora family suppressed the increase in blood glucose concentration of rats in the oral sugar tolerance test. The extracts also inhibited rat intestinal sucrase and maltase. The most potent sample was about 15 times more active than catechin, a positive control, in these experiments.

Preliminary characterization and bioactivity of water-soluble polysaccharides from four Impatiens species-I. glandulifera Royle, I. parviflora DC., I. balsamina L., and I. noli-tangere L.-were investigated. The yields of polysaccharides range widely from 1.97% for I. parviflora roots to 18.63% for I. balsamina aerial parts. SEC (Size exclusion chromatography) chromatograms show that all samples...
