Resin methods were employed to remove the proteins and pigments from polysaccharides of Gentiana scabra Bunge roots.
The weight-average molecular weights of purified polysaccharides (named GSP-2 and GSP-3) were analyzed by HPGPC.
Monosaccharide compositions of polysaccharide fractions were measured by HPAEC-PAD.
GSP-3 showed significant anticoagulant activity in APTT and TT assays.
