Bioactivities of water-soluble polysaccharides from fruit shell of Camellia oleifera Abel: Antitumor and antioxidant activities
2012
Jin, Xianchun
Polysaccharides were extracted from fruit shell of Camellia oleifera Abel. Fruit shell of Camellia oleifera Abel polysaccharide (WEP2) was a water-soluble compound. Its molecular weight was about 362kDa. HPLC analysis showed that this polysaccharide was composed of rhamnose, fucose, arabinose, mannose, galactose and glucose in the molecular ratio of 4.05, 11.62, 1.78, 3.91, 8.76 and 27.06, respectively. The broad intense characteristic peak around 3463cm⁻¹ due to the hydroxyl stretching vibration of the polysaccharide was observed in the polysaccharide. The characteristic absorption bands at 852cm⁻¹ and 893cm⁻¹ indicated that WEP2 contained both α-glycosidic and β-glycosidic linkages. WEP2 exhibited remarkable antitumor activity against Sarcoma180 cell compared to the negative control group. At the highest dose 40mg/kgdays, the tumor inhibition rate reached 65.2%. The scavenging effects of WEP2 to hydroxyl radical and superoxide radical anion were 72.5% and 86.3% at a concentration of 1.0mg/ml, respectively.
