ANTITUMOR AGENT HAVING PEPTIDE HETERO POLYSACCHARIDE SEPARATED FROM CRUSHED CELL WALL OF CHLORELLA PYRENOIDOSA AS ACTIVE INGREDIENT

摘要

To provide a novel antitumor agent.SOLUTION: An active ingredient of an antitumor agent is peptide hetero polysaccharide with high molecular weight which is obtained by processing a crushed cell wall of Chlorella pyrenoidosa by hot-water extraction, removing a low-molecular substance having the molecular weight of 10000 or less from its hot-water extraction liquid, and then purifying it, in which a saccharide composition has galactose as a main constituent, and furthermore, has glucose, mannose, xylose, rhamnose, arabinose and fructose as other constituents.SELECTED DRAWING: None
