Preliminary Structural Characterization of an Anti-Inflammatory Polysaccharide from Lysimachia christinae and Its Preventive Effect on Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Liver Injury in Mice
An acidic heteropolysaccharide, named LCP-90-3, with a relative molecular weight of 14.02 kDa, was isolated and purified from the traditional heat-clearing Chinese medicine, Lysimachia christinae Hance. The monosaccharide residue analysis indicated that LCP-90-3 was composed of glucuronic acid, mannose, and arabinose i...
