The polysaccharides from the fruits of Lycium barbarum have received considerable attention in previous publication, but the polysaccharides from the leaves were rarely reported. In the present work, four water-soluble polysaccharide fractions: LBP-I, LBP-II, LBP-III and LBP-IV isolated from L barbarum leaves were purified through DEAE-Sephadex A-25. LBP-II and LBP-IV respectively showed one symmetrical peak on HPGPC with average molecular weight of 9.39 x 10(4) Da and 4.18 x 10(5) Da. UV and IR analysis of the two fractions showed the characteristics of acidic polysaccharides combined with polypeptides or proteins. GC analysis showed LBP-IV was mainly composed of rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, glucose and galactose with molar ratio of 1.61:3.82:3.44:7.54:1.00, and the uronic acid content was 47.68% (w/w) determined by sulfuric acid-carbazole method. H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra of LBP-IV also showed the presence of carboxyl carbon and five anomeric carbons, and suggested there may be both alpha- and beta-anomeric configurations in this fraction. Moreover, splenocyte proliferation activity assay showed that LBP-IV significantly enhanced the proliferation of splenocyte stimulated by ConA or LPS, indicating the fraction has the beneficial effect on immunostimulating activity.
