Background:

  • Cedrela tubiflora, a plant from the Meliaceae family, produces various bioactive compounds.
  • Polysaccharides are known for diverse biological activities, including immunomodulatory effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To isolate and characterize water-soluble polysaccharides from Cedrela tubiflora leaves.
  • To evaluate the anticomplementary activity of the extracted polysaccharide fractions.
  • To determine the composition and structure of the most active polysaccharide.

Main Methods:

  • Extraction of water-soluble polysaccharides from Cedrela tubiflora leaves.
  • Fractionation into neutral and acidic components.
  • Purification of the active fraction using gel permeation chromatography.
