Two polysaccharides, a rhamnogalacturonan (J1) and a xyloglucan (J2), were isolated and purified from the whole flowers ofNeriumindicumand characterized by GC, GC−MS, NMR, and ESMS. The rhamnogalacturonan was found to consist of repeating units of a linear trisaccharide with the structure [→4)-α-GalpA(1→2)α-Rhap(1→4)-α-GalpA(1→4)−]n, while the xyloglucan consisted of repeating units of the trisaccharide, which was (1→4)-linked β-glucopyranosyl residues as a backbone and substituted at position 6 linked to terminal α-xylopyranose side chains. These two polysaccharides were tested on the proliferation and differentiation on PC12 pheochromocytoma cells and found to have effects similar to nerve growth factor (NGF).
