摘要
A type I arabinogalactan (CPP) was isolated from the viscous gum exuded by Cereus peruvinus (Cactaceae). It contained arabinose. galactose, galacturonic acid, and rhamnose in a 15:66:6:13 molar ratio and had 9 x 10(5) g mol(-1). Methylation analysis and C-13 NMR spectroscopy indicated that CPP is composed of a (1 --> 4)-linked beta-D-Galp main-chain with substituents of alpha-L-Araf at O-2, O-3 and O-6, which are in turn substituted at O-2, O-3, and O-2,3. These are probably linked to O-4 of some rhamnosyl units of a type I rhamnogalacturonan (RG1). The main chain is formed by repeating (1 --> 4)-alpha-D-GalpA-(1 --> 2)-alpha-L-Rhap groups. The methylation analysis suggested the presence of (1 --> 3)-linked beta-Galp structures, perhaps linked to the (1--> 4)-linked beta-D-Galp backbone. CPP significantly inhibited ethanol-induced gastric lesions in rats at an ED50 of 49 mg kg(-1), indicating that it has a gastroprotective effect. The gastric lesion inhibition by CPP suggests a potential use of this polysaccharide, or the crude plant extract, in phytotherapy. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
