| Abstract: | A polysaccharide, a glucan with mean Mr of 1.0×106 (MP1), was isolated from the mesocarp of fruits of Orbignya phalerata. Chemical and spectroscopic studies indicated that MP1 has a highly branched glucan type structure composed of α-(1→4) linked
-glucopyranose residues with (3→4), (4→6), and with (3→6) branching points. MP1 enhanced phagocytosis in vivo and exhibited anti-inflammatory activity. |
