The sulfated agaran isolated by water extraction from the red seaweed, Acanthophora spicifera (Rhodomelaceae, Ceramiales), is made up of A-units highly substituted with sulfate groups on C-2 (28-30%), sulfates on C-2 and 4,6-O-(1'-carboxyethylidene) groups (9-15%), and only the C-2 sulfate groups (5-8%) with small amounts of C-6 sulfate, 6-O-methyl, and nonsubstituted residues. B-units are formed mainly by 3,6-anhydro-alpha-L-galactose (15-16%) and its precursor, alpha-L-galactose 6-sulfate (10-17%), together with lesser amounts of 3,6-anhydro-alpha-L-galactose 2-sulfate, alpha-L-galactose 2,6-disulfate, alpha-L-galactose 2,3,6-tri-sulfate, alpha-L-galactose 2,6-disulfate 3-xylose, 2-O-methyl-alpha-L-galactose, and unsubstituted alpha-L-galactose. Small, but significant quantities of beta-D-xylose were found in all the fractions, together with small amounts to traces of D-glucose. Some of the fractions have high antiviral activity. Attempts to correlate structure and antiviral activity in agarans are presented.
从红藻多刺顶孢藻(红翎菜科,仙菜目)中通过水提取法分离得到的硫酸化琼脂糖,由A单元组成,这些A单元在C-2位上高度硫酸化(28-30%),C-2位和4,6-O-(1'-羧基亚乙基)位有硫酸根(9-15%),只有C-2位硫酸根(5-8%),还有少量C-6位硫酸根、6-O-甲基和未取代的残基。B单元主要由3,6-脱水-α-L-半乳糖(15-16%)及其前体α-L-半乳糖6-硫酸酯(10-17%)组成,还有少量的3,6-脱水-α-L-半乳糖2-硫酸酯、α-L-半乳糖2,6-二硫酸酯、α-L-半乳糖2,3,6-三硫酸酯、α-L-半乳糖2,6-二硫酸酯3-木糖、2-O-甲基-α-L-半乳糖和未取代的α-L-半乳糖。在所有组分中都发现了少量但显著量的β-D-木糖,以及少量至痕量的D-葡萄糖。一些组分具有较高的抗病毒活性。文中介绍了对琼脂糖结构与抗病毒活性之间相关性的研究尝试。
