Two polysaccharides, GCP-I-I and GCP-II-I, were obtained from 100°C water extracts of Gentiana crassicaulis roots by DEAE anion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The results from methanolysis, methylation, FT-IR and NMR, indicated that these two fractions are typical pectic polysaccharides, with HG and RG-I regions and AG-I/AG-II side chains, and some of the galacturonic acid units of fraction GCP-I-I were methyl esterified. Fractions GCP-I-I and GCP-II-I, both exhibited potent complement fixation, and fraction GCP-I-I was more potent than positive control BPII. The higher complement fixation activity obtained in fraction GCP-I-I may be due to the higher Mw and/or higher amount of AG-II present in fraction GCP-I-I than fraction GCP-II-I. The polysaccharides from G. crassicaulis could be used as a potential natural immunomodulator.
从秦艽 100°C 水提取物中,通过 DEAE 阴离子交换色谱和凝胶过滤得到两种多糖 GCP-I-I 和 GCP-II-I。甲醇解、甲基化、FT-IR 和 NMR 的结果表明,这两种级分是典型的果胶多糖,具有 HG 和 RG-I 区域和 AG-I/AG-II 侧链,并且级分 GCP-I-I 中的一些半乳糖醛酸单元被甲酯化。级分 GCP-I-I 和 GCP-II-I 均表现出强烈的补体固定作用,并且级分 GCP-I-I 比阳性对照 BPII 更有效。在级分 GCP-I-I 中获得的更高的补体固定活性可能是由于级分 GCP-I-I 中存在更高的 Mw 和/或更高量的 AG-II 所致。秦艽多糖可用作潜在的天然免疫调节剂。
