A polysaccharide fraction from Handroanthus heptaphyllus leaves was obtained with a simple and quick purification method. Methylation analysis and NMR spectroscopy indicated the presence of a complex polysaccharide fraction mainly constituted by a type II arabinogalactan. This is the first report in
Handroanthus albus, commonly known as yellow ipê, is a native and widely distributed tree in Brazil. An aqueous soluble polysaccharide fraction (HASP) was obtained from its leaves, and monosaccharide composition, glycosidic linkage analysis by methylation and NMR spectroscopy indicated that HASP is
Barks of trees of the genus Handroanthus are known for their antitumor activity, which is attributed to naphthoquinones. Another class of molecules that has shown antitumor activity are the polysaccharides, however those from Handroanthus barks have never been studied. Accordingly, the aim of this
