Abstract
In the screening of Korean traditional tea sources for the cellular lysosomal enzyme activity of peritoneal macrophage from mice, CT-0, a cold-water extract from Carthamus tinctorius L., showed the highest macro-phage-stimulating activity. CT-1-IIa-2-1, a purified macrophage-stimulation polysaccharide was obtained by a series of purification steps such as anion exchage chromatography with DEAE-Toyopearl 650M, gel permeation chromatography with Sepharose CL-6B, Sephacryl S-200, and HPLC with Superdex G-75. The molecular weight of homogeneous purified polysaccharide was estimated about 68 kDa. CT-1-IIa-2-1 consisted of xylose 27.44%, arabinose 16.14%, mannose 15.92% and glucose 14.47%. To measure acute toxicity, dose of 50, 100, 500, and 1000 mg/kg were intraperitoneally injected to ICR mice. The LD$\_$50/ was about 397 mg/kg.
