Polysaccharides from seeds of Strychnos species

Phytochemistry. 1995 Aug;39(6):1377-80. doi: 10.1016/0031-9422(95)00193-b.

Abstract

The chemical composition of polysaccharide fractions from Strychnos nux-vomica and S. innocua seeds and comparison with those from S. potatorum seeds are reported. The structural features of the galactomannans from the three Strychnos species are also discussed.
