Genus L. bupleurum polysaccharides

The works presents data on the review of the genus Bupleurum L. polysaccharides. It is shown that polysaccharide complexes have broad spectrum activities such as antioxidant, anticomplementary, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating, which allows these plants as promising sources not only saikosaponins, but also polysaccharides. For the first time, the polysaccharide complexes (water-soluble polysaccharides, pectin, hemicellulose A and hemicellulose B) were isolated by sequential extraction and precipitation with ethanol from the herbs and roots of Bupleurum scorzonerifolium Willd. of Buryat and Mongolian flora.
