DoLPHiN: A structural and functional database of natural polysaccharides with health benefits

Title Value
Polysaccharide BGR-S2
Source Name Avicennia marina
Weight 119kDa
Main Glycosidic Bond(s)
α-GalpA-(1→4)
α-Rhap-(1→2)
α-GalpA-(1→2)
Main Chain It is interspersed with 1,4-linked α-D-galacturonic acid (GalpA), 1,2-linked α-L-rhamnose (Rhap) and 1,2,4-linked α-L-rhamnose residues, that is, [→4-α-D-GalpA (1→2)-α-L-Rhap-(1→)].
Side Chain Branched arabinan and galactan side chains are connected at the O-4 position of rhamnose residues by branched chains composed of 1,3-L-arabinose (Araf), 1,5-L-arabinose, 1,3,5-L-arabinose, 1,3-D-galactose (Galp), 1,6-D-galactose, 1,3,6-D-galactose and 1,6-D-glucose (Glcp).
NMR Information yes
Monosaccharide
glucose 7.77%
galactose 60.19%
arabinose 22.33%
rhamnose 9.71%
Physiological Functions The polysaccharide in the complement determination system shows significant anticomplement activity. Its activity is stronger than that of pectin polysaccharide HAM-3-IIb-II from the stem of Avicennia marina but slightly weaker than that of sodium heparin. It reaches maximum activity at a concentration of 40 μg/ml. The half-hemolytic inhibitory concentration (ICH₅₀) is approximately 16 μg/ml.
Intestinal Microbiota Regulation unknown
