The invention provides application of
polygonatum cyrtonema
polysaccharide in preparation of medicines for treating
ulcerative colitis or reducing blood glucose. A main chain of a
sugar chain structure of the homogeneous
polysaccharide PCP2 in
polygonatum cyrtonema is mainly composed of-> 1)-beta-D-Fur-(2->,-> 1, 6)-beta-D-Fur-(2-> and-> 6)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-> and beta-D-Fur-(2->), a
side chain is mainly composed of beta-D-Fur-(2-> and-> 2)-beta-D-Fur-(6-> at a C-6 position of-> 1, 6)-beta-D-Fur-(2->), Fur represents
furanose, Glcp represents glucopyranose, Glcp represents glucopyranose, and Glcp represents glucopyranose. The novel
polysaccharide compound can relieve
intestinal injury of mice, increase expression of tight
nectin and
mucoprotein, relieve
oxidative stress reaction, promote production of short-chain
fatty acid and improve composition of intestinal
flora, and can be applied to the field of
medicine as a
medicine for treating
ulcerative colitis. Meanwhile, the homogeneous polysaccharide PCP2 in
polygonatum cyrtonema can significantly inhibit the activity of alpha-
amylase and alpha-
glucosidase, can also promote the ability of
insulin resistance 3T3-L1 fat cells to uptake and consume glucose, shows a significant hypoglycemic effect, and has a good development prospect in the aspect of preparation of
hypoglycemic drugs.
