overview
lipopolysaccharide, a thick layer (8 ~ 10nm) of substance located in the outermost layer of the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria, is formed by covalent binding of lipid A, core polysaccharide and O-specific side chain 3 parts. Among them, lipid A is composed of 2 N-acetylglucosamine and 5 saturated long-chain fatty acids. The core polysaccharide is divided into two parts: the inner core region and the outer core region, the inner core region consists of 3 2-keto-3 deoxyoctanoic acids (KDO) and 3 L-glycerol-D-mannoheptose (Hep), the outer core region consists of 5 hexoses, and the O-specific side chain consists of multiple tetrahexose units; it not only has good decontamination, emulsification, washing, dispersion, solubilization, penetration, foaming, viscosity adjustment, anti-aging, anti-crystallization, anti-static and other properties, but also has non-toxic, odorless, non-polluting, non-irritating, Easy to biodegrade and other excellent characteristics, but also has antibacterial, fresh-keeping, antiviral, anti-tumor, removal of ester garbage in the body and other pharmacological effects and immune functions; therefore, it is widely used in food, medicine, chemical industry, cosmetics, detergent, textile, agriculture and animal husbandry industries.
chemical composition
It is formed by covalent binding of lipid A, core polysaccharide and O-specific side chain 3 parts. Lipid A is composed of 2 N-acetylglucosamine and 5 saturated long-chain fatty acids. The core polysaccharide is divided into two parts: the inner core region and the outer core region. The inner core region consists of 3 2-keto -3 deoxyoctanoic acids (KDO) and 3 L-glycerol-D-mannoheptose (Hep), and the outer core region consists of 5 hexoses. O-specific side chains are composed of multiple tetrahexose units. It contains lipid 36.7%, total sugar 47.7%, total nitrogen 1.02%, total phosphorus 1.23% and protein 6.38%.
Pharmacological action
1. After proper plant lipopolysaccharide enters animals or humans, it can enhance the body's non-specific immunity in a short time, which plays a great role in improving the body's ability to resist diseases.
2. Lipopolysaccharide can also resist blood coagulation, anti-thrombosis, reduce cardiovascular system diseases, lower blood sugar and other health functions.
3. The lipopolysaccharide in tea has the effect of preventing radiation, and it also has the effect of improving hematopoietic function and protecting blood phase.
biological action
1. Fever reaction.
2. leukocyte response.
3. endotoxemia and endotoxin shock.
4. Disseminated intravascular coagulation.
5. Others: A small amount of LPS can activate B cells and produce polyclonal antibodies; Promote the maturation of T cells; Activate the activity of macrophages and NK cells; Induce immune regulatory factors such as interferon, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), colony stimulating factor (CSF), interleukin -6, etc.
features
1. is the material basis of Gram-negative bacterial endotoxin.
2. Increase the concentration of magnesium and calcium ions on the cell surface.
3. Because of its molecular variability, it determines the diversity of cell surface antigenic determinants.
4. It is a specific adsorption receptor for several phages.
