ABSTRACT

As a rare endangered medical plant that newly cultivated,little experimental information is available for growth and metabolites of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum in response to nitrogen( N). The effects of different levels of N on growth of T. hemsleyanum and the content of phytochemicals( polysaccharide,total flavonoids and phenolics) and antioxidant activity( ABTS and FRAP) in stems and leaves were investigated in this study. A certain amount of N had positive effects on most of biological traits,and excessive dose of N went against growth of T. hemsleyanum. With N levels decreased,the polysaccharide content in stems and leaves had no significant change,while the total flavonoid and phenolic content,and antioxidant activities increased steadily. Antioxidant activities and total flavonoid and phenolic content had significant positive correlation. Excessive N fertilizer should be avoided by cultivation.

ABSTRACT

A delignification method was employed to extract the polysaccharide from the fruiting body of Phellinus baumii. The three parameters, processing temperature, ratio of water to raw material and amount of acetic acid every time were optimized using the Box-Behnken design. As a result, the optimal extraction conditions were: processing temperature 70.3°C, ratio of water to raw material of 34.7mL/g and amount of acetic acid of 0.32mL every time. Under these conditions, the highest yield of polysaccharide (10.28%) was obtained. The main fraction (PPB-2) purified from PPB was composed of fucose, arabinose, galactose, glucose, xylose and mannose, while glucose was the predominant monosaccharide. PPB-2 exhibited noticeable antioxidant activity and strong protection against oxidative DNA damage. These findings implied that acid-chlorite delignification was a superior method to extract the polysaccharide from P. baumii and PPB-2 may be useful for cancer chemoprevention.

ABSTRACT

Optimization of fermentation process for the production of intracellular polysaccharide (IPS) from the fungus Paecilomyces cicadae and the immuno-stimulating activity of IPS were carried out. The quantitative effects of initial pH, fermentation temperature and time on the yield of IPS content produced by P. cicadae in submerged fermentation were investigated separately using response surface methodology (RSM). The three factors chosen for the present investigation were based on the results of a previous Plackett-Burman (PB) design. The experimental data obtained were fitted to a second-order polynomial equation using multiple regression analysis and also analyzed by appropriate statistical methods. RSM analysis showed good correspondence between experimental and predicted values. It was found that three parameters represented significant effect. Probability value (p < 0.0001) demonstrated a very high significance for the regression model. By solving the regression equation and analyzing the response surface contour plots, the optimal process parameters were determined, i.e. fermentation temperature 24.53 °C, initial pH 7.46 and fermentation time 73.9 h. The maximum predicted yield of IPS was 356.02 µg/ml under the optimal conditions. Meanwhile, IPS from P. cicadae was found to have direct immuno-stimulating activity in vitro on murine macrophage RAW264.7 proliferative response and to stimulate nitric oxide generation in a dose-dependent manner.

ABSTRACT

Water-soluble polysaccharides were extracted from the fruit pulps of Melia azedarach and some columns were undertaken to isolate the major polysaccharide (MPS-III). Its structural features were elucidated by IR analysis, carbohydrate analysis, periodate oxidation, Smith degradation, methylation analysis and NMR spectroscopy. Then it was evaluated for the cytotoxic activity in vitro against four human cell lines, using the sulphorhodamine B assay. The data obtained indicated that MPS-III contains a alpha(1-->4) main chain backbone composed of arabinose, mannose in a molar ratio of 1.31:1.0 and has alpha(1-->6) branch structure. And MPS-III showed a strong cytotoxic activity in the BGC-823 cell line.
