The amino acid sequence was determined by the combination of Edman degradation, endoproteinase Lys-C digestion, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The primary structure was ATCSAPSGRF KGACFSSNTC SNICKTLEGL KDGHCTGLAC YCSRNC.展开更多

The primary structures were determined unambiguously by the combination of Edman degradation, endoproteinase Elu-c digestion, and Q-TOF mass spectrometry. One was identified as viscotoxin C1, which was for the first time isolated from Chinese mistletoe. The other two were new polypeptides, named as viscotoxin B5 and viscotoxin B8. Pharmacological studies showed that the polypeptides exhibit distinct cytotoxicity to human cancer cells.展开更多

Acute liver injury model was built by one-time alcohol gavage. The mice were randomly divided into VCFP-treated groups（ low-,medium-,and highdose）,alcohol model group and normal control group at the same time. VCFP-treated groups were administrated polysaccharide intragastrically continuously for4 weeks; and the alcohol model group and normal control group were administrated intragastrically the same amount of normal saline. The general situation and liver tissue morphological structure changes were observed. The results showed that the levels of ALT,AST,TC,TG,MDA contents,and CAT and GSH-Px activity of mice in the model group increased significantly（ P 〈 0. 01）,while the activity of SOD and weight and liver index decreased significantly（ P 〈 0. 01） compared with the normal control group. After 4 weeks of gavage,VCFP could significantly improve weight,liver index and SOD activity,and significantly reduce ALT,AST,TC and TG levels,MDA content and CAT and GSH-Px activity. These results suggest that VCFP can improve antioxidant enzyme activity,remove oxygen free radical and reduce membrane lipid peroxidation reaction,thereby protecting liver cells.展开更多
