The structure, antioxidant and anti-hyperlipidemic activities of polysaccharides from Nitraria retusa fruits (named as NRFP) were investigated. The NRFP fraction, with a molecular weight of 66.5 kDa, was composed of a β-(1 → 3)-glucan, containing neutral sugars (69.1%) but also uronic acids up to 23.1% due to pectin structure. The monosaccharide composition highlighted a polymer composed of glucose (41.4%), galacturonic acid (30.5%), galactose (12.6%), arabinose (11.8%) and rhamnose (3.70%). In the antioxidant assays, NRFP exhibited effective total antioxidant capacity (IC = 7.82 mg/ml), scavenging activities on DPPH radical (IC = 0.87 mg/ml) and hydrogen peroxide (IC = 2.03 mg/ml). In addition, NRFP proved protective effects on HO induced hemolysis (IC = 66.2 μg/ml). In vivo NRFP reduced the hyperlipidemia, hepatotoxicity, cardiovascular and coronary diseases induced by Triton X-100.
研究了新疆盐生植物白刺果多糖(NRFP)的结构、抗氧化和抗高血脂活性。NRFP 级分的分子量为 66.5 kDa,由β-(1→3)-葡聚糖组成,含有中性糖(69.1%),但由于果胶结构,也含有高达 23.1%的糖醛酸。单糖组成突出了一种由葡萄糖(41.4%)、半乳糖醛酸(30.5%)、半乳糖(12.6%)、阿拉伯糖(11.8%)和鼠李糖(3.70%)组成的聚合物。在抗氧化试验中,NRFP 表现出有效的总抗氧化能力(IC=7.82 mg/ml)、对 DPPH 自由基(IC=0.87 mg/ml)和过氧化氢(IC=2.03 mg/ml)的清除活性。此外,NRFP 对 HO 诱导的溶血具有保护作用(IC=66.2 μg/ml)。体内试验结果表明,NRFP 能降低 Triton X-100 诱导的高血脂、肝毒性、心血管疾病和冠心病。
