Abstract
⺠A methyl esterified rhamnogalacturonan was isolated and characterized from Acmella oleracea. ⺠The rhamnogalacturonan is partially substituted by side-chains of type II arabinogalactans. ⺠The polysaccharide reduced ethanol-induced gastric lesions in rats with an ED50 of 1.5 mg/kg. ⺠Rhamnogalacturonan of A. oleracea may be a gastroprotective agent.
