Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

abstract

A mannan has been isolated from the bulbs ofUngernia ferganica Vved., and its qualitative chemical composition, the nature of the bond between the hexose residues, and the form of the molecule have been determined. It has been established that the mannan is a relatively nontoxic compound and exhibits a pronounced hypolipidemic activity both in intact animals and in animals with experimental hyperlipidemia.
