Abstract:

A water-soluble polysaccharide was isolated and purified from fruit-body of Pleurotus nebrodensis through sequential ethanol precipitation by Savag method, DEAE-cellulose 52 and Sephadex G-200 column chromatography to remove proteins and small molecules. This polysaccharide was identified to be PNFP-IIa through UV, agarose gel electrophoresis and Sephadex G-200 column chromatography. Moreover, PNFPII-a revealed high scavenging capability against hydroxyl and superoxide anion free radicals through chemiluminescent assay.

Key words: Pleurotus nebrodensis, fruit-body polysaccharide, purification, PNFP II-a, free radical scavenging
