Abstract:
The main purpose of this study was to analyze the structural properties and anti-inflammatory activity of the purified fractions derived from UV/H2O2-degraded polysaccharides from Sargassum fusiforme. Results indicated that twofractions with different monosaccharide compositions and morphological characteristics, PT-0.25 (yield 39.5%) and PT-0.5 (yield 23.9%), were obtained. The average molecular weights of PT-0.25 and PT-0.5 were 14.52 kDa and 22.89 kDa, respectively. In addition, PT-0.5 exhibited better anti-inflammatory activity with a clear dose dependence. The mechanism was associated with the inhibition of LPS-activated Toll-like receptor 4-mediated inflammatory pathways in RAW264.7 cells. The results showed that PT-0.5 was a complex polysaccharide mainly composed of 4-Fucp, t-Manp, 6-Galp, t-Fucp, and 3,4-GlcAp. These results would provide theoretical support for studying the structural properties and biological activities of UV/H2O2-degraded polysaccharides.
