BACKGROUND
The aims of this study were to evaluate the antidiabetic activity and to detect molecular size of Pseudostellaria heterophylla polysaccharide (PHP). Pseudostellaria heterophylla is a medicine extensively used in traditional Chinese medicine formulas to treat diabetes and its
A water-soluble, pectic polysaccharide named as 0.5MSC-F isolated from Pseudostellaria Heterophylla with a molecular weight of 4.8×104Da that was composed of rhamnose, galactose, arabinose, and galacturonic acid which the major monosaccharide contents range up to 63.20%. Where the main chain was
The semi-refined polysaccharide of Pseudostellaria heterophylla is a complex polysaccharide that exhibits significantly hypoglycemic activities. A novel homogeneous polysaccharide, named as H-1-2, was isolated from the semi-refined polysaccharide. The mean molecular weight of H-1-2 was 1.4 × 10⁴ Da
