Ultrafiltration membranes of different pore size were applied to fractionate Chlorella pyrenoidosa polysaccharides (CPPS) and the main fraction could be separated by a membrane with nominal molecular weight cut-off (NMWCO) of 30 kDa. Ultrafiltration parameters of 40 °C 14.0 psi were optimized for obtaining the main fraction. The resulting sample was further purified by anion-exchange chromatography and size exclusion chromatography, and two distinctive polysaccharides, CPPS Ia and IIa were recovered. CPPS IIa had infrared spectral characteristic of polysaccharides similar to CPPS Ia, and the symmetrical stretching peak at 1408–1382 cm−1 was an indication of the presence of carboxyl groups. The peak molecular weights were 69658 Da and 109406 Da, for CPPS Ia and CPPS IIa, respectively. Both CPPS Ia and IIa were composed of rhamnose, mannose, glucose, galactose and an unknown monosaccharide. Galactose (relative mass 46.5%) was the predominant monosaccharide of CPPS Ia and in CPPS IIa, rhamnose (37.8%) was predominant. CPPS Ia and IIa presented significantly higher antitumor activity against A549 in vitro than did a blank control, in a dose-dependent manner. Both fractions might be useful for developing natural safe antitumor drugs from C. pyrenoidosa resources.
