Structural Characterization and Anticoagulant Activity of a 3--Methylated Heteroglycan From Fruiting Bodies of .

, a fungus, belongs to the Pleurotaceae family. The aim of the present study was to characterize the structure of a novel polysaccharide from fruiting bodies of (PPp-W) and evaluate its anticoagulant activity . The high-performance liquid chromatography and GC-MS analysis indicated that PPp-W with a molecular weight of 27.
