Rich d-Fructose-Containing Polysaccharide Isolated from Myxopyrum smilacifolium Roots toward a Superior Antioxidant Biomaterial

Abstract

The presented study attempts to unveil and evaluate the antioxidant activity of a novel heteropolysaccharide separated from the roots of Myxopyrum smilacifolium (denoted as PS-MSR). The molecular weight of PS-MSR is found to be 1.88 × 104 Da and contains two principal sugars, which are d-glucose and d-fructose, in the backbone. Decoding the structure of the obtained PS-MSR sample has disclosed a novel polysaccharide for the first time. Indeed, the PS-MSR is composed of (1 → 3)-linked glucosyl units and (2 → 3)-linked fructosyl units. In addition, the 1D and 2D NMR spectra of the PS-MSR sample display the repeating unit of the isolated polysaccharide, [→3)-α-d-Glcp-(1 → 3)-β-d-Frucf-(2 → 3)-β-d-Frucf-2 → 3)-)-β-d-Frucf-β-(2→] n . Interestingly, the PS-MSR sample exhibits outstanding antioxidant activity, signifying the potential utilization of the explored polysaccharide for antioxidant-based material.

“…Polysaccharide was isolated and purified from Myxopyrum Smilacifolium roots. [15] Pretreatment of NF Commercial nickel foam (NF) with the dimension of 1 cm x 2 cm was carefully treated with 1M hydrochloric acid for 30 min to remove pollutants, washed with deionized water, and then cleaned with ethanol. Finally, NF was washed with deionized water and ethanol several times.…”

“…This procedure was repeated three times to fully exchange active hydrogen, and the mixture was finally dissolved in D 2 0 in an NMR tube. 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded on an NMR apparatus (Bruker, Avance III 600, USA) at 600 MHz at 25 °C (Le et al, 2022).…”

Three new red neutral and ionic iridium(III) complexes based on the same main ligand and auxiliary ligand but with different counterions for solution‐processed organic light‐emitting diodes

“…The electroluminescence (EL) mechanism in OLEDs is the recombination of electrically injected charge carriers, that is, electrons and holes, which generates singlet excitons and triplet excitons with the ratio of 25%:75%. However, due to their spin‐forbidden transitions, triplet excitons are lost through non‐radiative recombination channels in traditional fluorescent electroluminescent devices, and only singlet excitons can promote radiative recombination, which limits the maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of diodes [9–11]. In order to achieve satisfactory performances, especially the maximum EQE, it is necessary to develop luminescent materials for OLEDs which can fully harvest singlet and triplet excitons.…”
