摘要
A water-soluble polysaccharide named as SEP was isolated from the eggs of Dalian purple sea urchin Strongylocentrotus nudus by hot water extraction, anion-exchange and gel-permeation chromatography and tested for its antitumor activity. Its structural characteristics were investigated by FTIR, HPLC, NMR spectroscopy, GLC-MS, methylation analysis, Periodate oxidation and Smith degradation. Based on the data obtained, SEP was found to be an alpha-(1 -> 4)-D-glucan, with a single alpha-D-glucose at the C-6 position every nine residue, on average, along the main chain. The glucan has a weight-average molecular weight of about 1.95 x 10(6) Da. Pharmacological studies revealed SEP could inhibit the growth of Sarcoma 180 tumor remarkably in vivo. SEP also stimulated the spleen lymphocyte proliferation in S180-bearing mice, indicating its antitumor effect may be related to immunomodulation. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
