本实验研究金蝉花多糖的抗氧化活性,并对其纯化组分进行结构分析。采用热水浸提、不同浓度乙醇分级沉淀的方法从金蝉花中提取多糖,分别获得_(50)%醇沉金蝉花多糖(_(50)%polysaccharides from Cordyceps cicadas,CP_(50))和_(80)%醇沉金蝉花多糖(CP_(80)),并检测两者的体外抗氧化活性。结果表明:CP_(50)较CP_(80)表现出较强的清除自由基的能力,且具有一定的还原能力和总抗氧化能力。CP_(50)进一步经二乙氨乙基(diethylaminoethyl,DEAE)纤维素-52和Sephadex G-100凝胶柱分离纯化,得到活性多糖CPA-1和CPB-1。经紫外扫描光谱法和高效凝胶过滤色谱法鉴定CPA-1和CPB-1为均一多糖;单糖组成分析显示两个组分中均含有葡萄糖、甘露糖和半乳糖,其物质的量比分别为:1∶0.48∶0.52和1∶0.14∶0.114。红外光谱(infrared spectroscopy,IR)及刚果红实验发现,CPA-1和CPB-1具有典型的多糖红外吸收,且含有三股螺旋分子结构。
In this study, the antioxidant activities and structural characteristics of polysaccharides from Cordyceps cicadae were determined. Two crude polysaccharide fractions(CP_(50) and CP_(80)) were extracted from Cordyceps cicadae with hot water and isolated by precipitation with different concentrations of ethanol. Their antioxidant activities were also analyzed. The results indicated that both CP_(50) and CP_(80) were effective in antioxidant activity. The radical scavenging activity of CP_(50) was higher than that of CP_(80). CP_(50) also showed higher reducing capacity and total antioxidant activity. CP_(50) was then further purified by gel filtration on diethylaminoethyl(DEAE)-cellulose-52 and Sephadex G-100 columns, and two purified fractions were obtained, namely CPA-1 and CPB-1. Ultraviolet spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) analysis revealed that CPA-1 and CPB-1 were homogeneous. Monosaccharide analysis revealed that both CPA-1 and CPB-1 were composed of Glc, Gal and Man with a molar ratio of 1:0.48:0.52 and 1:0.14:0.114, respectively. Moreover, both polysaccharide fractions had three helix structures.
