Screening for α-glucosidase inhibitors and antioxidants from natural sources that could reduce postprandial glucose in diabetic patients and reduce oxidative stress had attracted considerable interest. In this study, a neutral polysaccharide (AP-1) with a triple helix structure was isolated and purified from the residue of apricot (Armeniaca sibirica L. Lam.) kernels by using DEAE-52 and Sephadex G-100 columns. The molecular weight of AP-1 was 23.408 kDa and consisted mainly of glucose with trace amounts of arabinose, galactose, and mannose, which had molar percentages of 98.48, 0.63, 0.62 and 0.27 %, respectively. The main chain of AP-1 was composed of →4)-α-D-Glcp-(1 → interlinked, and α-D-Glcp-(1 → was attached as a branched chain at the O-6 position of →4,6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→. In addition, AP-1 exhibited stronger α-glucosidase inhibition and free radical scavenging ability compared to crude polysaccharides. Therefore, AP-1 could be used as a potential natural hypoglycemic agent and antioxidant in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.
从天然来源筛选能够降低糖尿病患者餐后血糖和降低氧化应激的α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制剂和抗氧化剂引起了相当大的兴趣。在这项研究中,从杏仁(西伯利亚杏)核废渣中分离并纯化出一种具有三螺旋结构的中性多糖(AP-1),使用 DEAE-52 和 Sephadex G-100 柱。AP-1 的分子量为 23.408 kDa,主要由葡萄糖组成,含有微量的阿拉伯糖、半乳糖和甘露糖,摩尔百分比分别为 98.48%、0.63%、0.62%和 0.27%。AP-1 的主链由→4)-α-D-Glcp-(1→相互连接,α-D-Glcp-(1→作为支链连接在→4,6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→的 O-6 位。此外,AP-1 表现出比粗多糖更强的α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制和自由基清除能力。因此,AP-1 可用作治疗糖尿病的潜在天然降血糖剂和抗氧化剂。
