Sijunzi Decoction (SJZD) is a formula used for the treatment of spleen deficiency and gastrointestinal diseases in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Polysaccharides are reported to be the main components of SJZD responsible for its bio-functions. However, highly purified and clearly characterized polysaccharides from SJZD are not well described. Here we obtained a purified polysaccharide (SJZDP-II-I) from SJZD using ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. Structure analysis by FT-IR and NMR identified SJZDP-II-I as a typical pectic polysaccharide with homogalacturonan and rhamnogalacturonan type I regions and arabinogalactan type I and II as side chains. In vitro studies indicated that SJZDP-II-I treatment could significantly enhance the total antioxidant capacity of SW480 cells, resulting from the promoted expressions of antioxidant enzymes and their master regulator PGC-1α, which would be valuable for further research and applications.
四君子汤(SJZD)是一种用于治疗中医脾虚和胃肠道疾病的方剂。据报道,多糖是 SJZD 的主要成分,负责其生物功能。然而,高度纯化和明确表征的 SJZD 多糖尚未得到很好的描述。在这里,我们使用离子交换色谱和凝胶过滤从 SJZD 中获得一种纯化的多糖(SJZDP-II-I)。通过傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)和核磁共振(NMR)分析,确定 SJZDP-II-I 为一种典型的果胶多糖,具有同型半乳糖醛酸和鼠李半乳糖醛酸 I 型区域以及阿拉伯半乳聚糖 I 和 II 型侧链。体外研究表明,SJZDP-II-I 处理可显著增强 SW480 细胞的总抗氧化能力,这是由于抗氧化酶及其主调控因子 PGC-1α 的表达增强所致,这对于进一步的研究和应用具有重要价值。
