Abstract
A main polysaccharide (aloe mannan) isolated from the fresh leaf pulp (aquiferous tissue) of Aloe arborescens Mill. var. natalensis Berger in a pure state was proved to be a partially acetylated β–D–mannan. The molecular weight of aloe mannan was calculated to be approximately 15,000 by equilibrium ultracentrifugation. An inhibiting effect of aloe mannan was tested against the implanted sarcoma–180.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
