Theβamyloid (Aβ) induced neurodegeneration is believed to be one of pathological mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The inhibition of Aβproduction or aggregation is one of the promising therapeutic strategies for anti-AD drug discovery. Here, a homogeneous neutral polysaccharide designated LBP1A1-1 with an average molecular weight of 45.0 kDa was purified from fruits ofLycium barbarumL. Its structure was characterized to possess a backbone of 1, 3-linked β-Galp, 1, 6-linked β-Galp, 1, 4-linked α-Glcpwith branches substituted at C-3 position of 1, 6-linked β-Galpor C-6 position of 1, 3-linked β-Galp. The branches contained terminal (T)-linked β-Galp, T-linked α-Araf, T-linked β-Araf, 1, 5-linked α-Arafand T-linked β-Rhap. Thein vitroexperiments revealed that LBP1A1-1 could inhibit Aβ42production and impede Aβ42aggregation in a dose-dependent-manner without cytotoxicity. These results suggested that LBP1A1-1 might have the multiple potential for the treatment of AD.
