Abstract: HAM-3-IIa, a neutral polysaccharide fraction, was obtained from Avicennia marina(Forsk.) Vierh. by a series steps of extraction, isolation and purification. The purified HAM-3-IIa was proved to be homogenous by HPGFC and gel column chromatography. Its molecular weight was 97600. HAM-3-IIa was regarded as neutral glycoprotein with 4.9% protein and 95% carbohydrate. The carbohydrate fraction was composed of arabinose, galactose and xylose. Linkage between sugars and amino acids was shown to be O-glycol-Ser bond by β-elimination reactions. HAM-3-IIa expressed potent anti-complementary activity via classical and alternative pathways with the increase of activity proportional to dosage. It was confirmed from the study that the activity of polysaccharide was not due to the presence of microbial contamination during the purification processes.

Key words: Avicennia marina(Forsk.) Vierh., polysaccharide, anti-complementary activity
