Polygonatum sibiricum is a traditional Chinese medicine of drug Edible

with many functions of tonifying qi and nourishing yin

strengthening spleen and kidney

moistening lung and so on. It mainly contains polysaccharides

steroidal saponins

anthraquinones

alkaloids

cardiac glycosides

lignin

vitamins and other compounds

and polysaccharide is the main of them. In recent years

the study of composition structure analysis and functional activity of Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharides (PSP )has made great progress. In this paper

the relevant research of the main chemical composition and molecular weight determination

the structure analysis and functional activity of PSP were systematically summarized by referring to retrieve related documents

the results showed the chemical composed of PSP mainly included arabinose

galactose

glucose

mannose

fructose and galacturonic acid

and small amounts of xylose and glucuronic acid

in terms of pharmacological activity

it has certain anti-tumor antioxidant and anti-aging

enhancing immunity

regulating blood glucose and lipid

anti-inflammatory and regulating cell endocrine effects

and broad application and market prospects. However

the lack of research about PSP chemical composition and biological effects and mechanisms in vivo or vitro

therefore

this article will discuss with the prospect of its application prospects and proposing further research

provide the theoretical basis of health care products and treatment of disease.
