(+)-Syringaresinol-di-O-beta-D-glucoside (SR), syringin, and isofraxidin isolated from the stem bark of Acanthopanax senticosus Harms are its major constituents. The present work was undertaken to analyze effects of these compounds on inflammatory functions in SW982 human synovial sarcoma cell
The four kinds of plant polysaccharides, i.e., pachyman polysaccharides (PPS), Acanthopanax senticosus polysaccharides (ASPS), polysaccharides of tremella fuciformis (TF) and lentinan, have obviously inhibitory action against the animal tumor growth and have been applied to the treatment of cancer.
The results of experiments with Acanthopanax giraldii polysaccharide (AGP) demonstrated that it inhibited the growth of solid Sarcoma 180 and prolonged the survival time significantly. In tumor-bearing mice, AGP enhanced the phagocytosis and chemiluminescence of macrophages. By the immunofluorescent
Acanthopanax senticosus, also known as Siberian ginseng, is widely distributed throughout northern Asia and used in traditional Chinese medicine; it has been reported to prevent a number of diseases. However, the association between the antitumour and immunostimulatory activities of polysaccharide
Acanthopanax obovatus polysaccharide (AOPS) administrated intraperitoneally (i.p.) resulted in the augmentation of phagocytosis and the chemiluminescence in peritoneal macrophages of mice. Binding of the third component of complement (C3) cleavage products to the receptors on peritoneal macrophages
