Preparation and antioxidative activities of the sulfated Hunai polysaccharide / 中国生化药物杂志

ABSTRACT

Purpose　The aim is to sulfonize Hunai polysaccharide fr om p leurotus tuber-rigium(Fr.)Sing. and to evaluate the antioxidative activities of the sulfated po lysaccharide (S-HNP).Methods　S-HNP was prepared by the reacti on of Hunai polysaccharide with chlorosulfonic acid-Pyridine. The antioxidative activities o f S-HNP were evaluated as follows (1) the inhibition effects on Fe2+- Vc inducing the injury of rat liver mitochondria in vitro, (2) the protectiv e ef fect on CuSO4 -Phen-Vc-H2O2 inducing the damage of DNA, (3) the scaven ging effect on O*-2. Results　 S-HNP could protect mitochondria from lipid peroxidation induced by Fe2+-Vc, i ncluding the inhibitions of the increase of TBARS content, the swelling of mitoc hondria and the decrease of membrane fluidity, and protect DNA from the damage induced by CuSO4-Phen-Vc-H2O2， and scavenge O*-2 generated in the sel f-oxidation of pyrogallic acid. Conclusion　S-HNP exhibi ted marked antioxidative activities.
