Semen cuscutae is a well-known Chinese medicine which has been used to nourish kidney. It is the first study to demonstrate that the polysaccharides from semen cuscutae showed significant activity of nourishing kidney-yang by increasing the levels of testosterone and estradiol, decreasing the level of blood urea nitrogen, improving immune function, possessing antioxidant effect. Three homogeneous polysaccharides were obtained by DEAE-cellulose and Sephacryl S-400 which were named as C-7WR1, C-7WR2 and C-7WR3 with average molecular weight of 7.59×10, 3.23×10 and 2.25×10 respectively. C-7WR1 was composed of fructose: mannose=0.02:1. C-7WR2 was composed of fructose: mannose: xylose: arabinose=0.01:1:0.14:0.33. C-7WR3 was composed of fructose: mannose: xylose: arabinose=0.01:1:0.10:0.47. They mainly contained mannose. Their fourier transform infrared features were similar. They all had no nucleic acid and protein.
菟丝子是一种众所周知的中药,具有补肾作用。本研究首次证明菟丝子多糖通过提高睾酮和雌二醇水平、降低血尿素氮水平、改善免疫功能、具有抗氧化作用,表现出显著的补肾阳活性。通过 DEAE-纤维素和 Sephacryl S-400 分离得到三种均一多糖,分别命名为 C-7WR1、C-7WR2 和 C-7WR3,其平均分子量分别为 7.59×10、3.23×10 和 2.25×10。C-7WR1 由果糖:甘露糖=0.02:1 组成。C-7WR2 由果糖:甘露糖:木糖:阿拉伯糖=0.01:1:0.14:0.33 组成。C-7WR3 由果糖:甘露糖:木糖:阿拉伯糖=0.01:1:0.10:0.47 组成。它们主要含有甘露糖。它们的傅里叶变换红外特征相似,均不含核酸和蛋白质。
