Abstract: The disclosure provides a CD169 high affinity anti-tumor compound (TCC-Neu5A) and its preparation and application. The CD169 high affinity anti-tumor compound is a small molecule compound, which has specific and broad-spectrum tumor killing characteristics. TCC-Neu5Ac could targets tumor cells in vivo and metabolize onto a surface of the tumor cells to form CD169 ligands. These tumor cells are recognized and phagocytized by CD169-positive macrophages, which then release tumor-related antigens and present them to other immune cells, triggering an anti-tumor immune response. The CD169 high affinity anti-tumor compound provided by the disclosure is effective for a variety of tumors and has an inhibitory effect on tumor metastasis. In addition, the CD169 high affinity anti-tumor compound provided by the disclosure can not only be injected but also be orally administered. Cytotoxicity and animal toxicity of the CD169 high affinity anti-tumor compound are very low.

Abstract: The invention discloses a myrtle polysaccharide P1, the separation method thereof and the use in preparing hypolipidemic drugs therefor, wherein the P1 contains 6.74% of ribose, 1.73% of rhamnose, 60.06% of arabinose, 3.54% of xylose, 5.64% of mannose, 13.16% of glucose, and 9.13% of galactose. The experiment result shows that the myrtle polysaccharide P1 has a certain ability to bind cholate in vitro. Taking cholestyramine as a positive control and the binding rate of cholestyramine to each cholate as 100%, the relative binding rate of the myrtle polysaccharide P1 to sodium taurocholate, sodium glycocholate and sodium cholate was 25.28%, 44.56%, and 50.10%, respectively.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for extracting a RG-I-rich pectic polysaccharide. The method comprises the following steps: mixing and stirring a citrus fruit peel powder and a dilute hydrochloric acid solution at a low temperature to destroy cell walls of citrus peels, filtering, and then mixing the retentate with a sodium hydroxide solution for low temperature extraction, adding ethanol to the solution obtained by filtering to precipitate, and washing the obtained polysaccharide with ethanol and drying to obtain the above pectic polysaccharide. Compared with the traditional extraction method, this method reduces the hydrolysis of pectin side chains by controlling the extraction temperature, and the extracted pectic polysaccharide is rich in RG-I domain and has higher biological activity such as cancer and cardiovascular disease prevention. Energy can be greatly saved because of the low extraction temperature.
