This study is focused on the screening and extraction of a macrophage activating polysacchRIDES from edile plants. Abstracts of the results obtained from researches are as followes.
Among 20 kinds of plant extracts, Allium Tuberosum, Allium Monanthum, Amaranthus Acendens and Capsicum Annuum showed higher macrophage lysosomal enzyme activity than others. They were than 185% activity in 100㎍/mL concentration in comparison with control. Especially, the cold water extracts from Allium Tuberosum showed the most potent activity in dose-dependent fashion. During extraction, low molecular weight fraction was removed by using MtOH extraction of Allium Tuberosum. High molecular water soluble fraction was obtained by hot water extraction and the EtOH precipitation. Fraction AT-1 showing 218% macrophage lysosomal enzyme activity, consisted of 52.1% carbohydrate, 11.2% protein and 3.2% uronic acid.
