A water-soluble polysaccharide (SMPS) isolated from the aqueous extract of the green (unripe) fruits of Solenum melongena (Brinjal) contains d-galactose, d-methyl galacturonate, 3-O-acetyl d-methyl galacturonate, and l-arabinose in a molar proportion of nearly 1:1:1:1. Structural investigation of the polysaccharide was carried out using total acid hydrolysis, methylation analysis, periodate oxidation study, and NMR studies (1H, 13C, DQF-COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, ROESY, HMQC, and HMBC). On the basis of the above experiments the structure of the repeating unit of the polysaccharide (SMPS) was established asFigure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slideThis molecule showed splenocyte and thymocyte activations.
