An acidic polysaccharide fraction that had high anti-complementary activity was isolated from the stems of Grey Mangrove in 0.15% yield. The final fractions was designated HAM-3-IIb-II. The polysaccharide fraction appeared to be homogenous by high performance size exclusion chromatography with an estimated molecular weight of 105 kDa. The isolated polysaccharide is more effective than polysaccharide K (PSK) in its anti-complementary activity at 58 ㎍/ml of PSK and 23 ㎍/ml of HAM-3-IIb-II that inhibit 50% of complement activity in the complement fixation assay.
