Abstract:

Objective: To improve the water solubility of a water-insoluble glucan from Ganoderma atrum by sulfated
modification technique and to investigate the in vitro antitumor activity and properties of sulfated derivatives. Methods: The
water-insoluble glucan was modified using chlorosulfonic acid-pyridine (CSA-Pyr) method to obtain sulfated products with
different degrees of sulfation (DS). The sulfated polysaccharides were characterized by gel filtration chromatography and
FT-IR spectroscopy. The cytotoxicity on S-180 sarcoma cells was measured to screen a fraction with significant antitumor
activity. The separated fraction with high antitumor activity was purified and its solution was subjected to molecular
characterization. Results: Nine sulfated products with different DS were prepared. AGAPS5 (DS 1.14) had significant
antitumor activity. The sugar content of AGAPS5 was 66.3%, and the inhibitory rate of AGAPS5 on the growth of S-180
sarcoma cells was 67.74%. The purified AGAPS5-1 showed a random coil chain in 0.1 mol/L NaNO3 solution. The weight-average
molecular weight (Mw) of AGAPS5-1 was 5.19 × 104 u and the number-average molecular weight (Mn) was 2.63 × 104 u. Conclusion:
Sulfated modification can improve the water-solubility and solution properties, and enhance the in vitro antitumor activity of
glucan from Ganoderma atrum.
