BACKGROUND
In fruits with therapeutic properties for antidiarrheal and laxative uses, the presence of lectins may be the bioactive properties that interfere with bacterial adhesion, thought to be competition for glycoside signal sites in the attachment.
METHODS
This study identifies lectins in crude
The lectin from Datura stramonium (thorn-apple; Solanaceae) has been purified by affinity chromatography and shown to be a glycoprotein containing about 40% (w/w) of carbohydrate. The most abundant amino acids are hydroxyproline, cystine, glycine and serine. Results obtained by gel filtration in
OBJECTIVE
To establish test model of stability of different protein to digestion in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF).
METHODS
The component of SGF and SIF being from the United States Pharmacopeia, the stability of various proteins were tested. The concentration of
The effects of lectins with different carbohydrate-binding specificities on human hepatoma (H3B), human choriocarcinoma (JAr), mouse melanoma (B16) and rat osteosarcoma (ROS) cell lines were investigated. Cell viability was estimated by uptake of crystal violet. Wheat germ lectin was the lectin with
