title: [Studies on polysaccharides from Holothuria leucospilota].
abstract: A powder was obtained from the dried body of Holothuria leucosilota (Brandt). According to IR and UV spectra, paper chromatography and the physical and chemical data, it is showed a sulfated mucopoly-saccharide consisted of galactosamine, glucouronic acid, fucose and sulfate with the molar ratio of 1:0.96:0.78:1.98 respectively. The specific rotation, intrinsic viscoslty and molecular weight of this polysaccharide were all presented.
