Abstract:

Water extraction and deproteinization by Sevag method were carried out for the preparation of a crude polysaccharide extract from Inonotus obliquus, named IOP. IOP was subjected to sequential treatments with DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B anion exchange, Sepharose CL-6B and Sephadex G-200 columns for purification purpose and a polysaccharide fraction, named IOP3a, was obtained, which was identified to contain a single composition. The inhibitory effect of IOP3a on the proliferation of Jurkat and Daudi tumor cells in vitro was evaluated by MTT assay. It was found that IOP3a had an obvious anti-tumor activity in a dose-dependent manner in vitro (P < 0.01) and that the maximum inhibitory ratio of IOP3a on Jurkat and Daudi tumor cells were 71.84% and 75.14%, respectively.

Key words: Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide, purification, anti-tumor activity in vitro
