New metal complexes of citrus pectin with magnesium ions: synthesis, properties, and immunomodulatory activity

Magnesium complexes based on sodium polygalacturonate and pectinate were prepared characterized. The conditions of complex formation optimized the immunomodulatory activity was studied in vivo for first time. pectin with magnesium ions decrease immunosuppressive effect cyclophosphamide cytostatic, associated a number immune cells blood (leukopenia) after administration cyclophosphamide, promote restoration white cell count ratio their subpopulations, i.e., exhibit properties.
