The invention discloses a selfheal
polysaccharide zinc chelate as well as a preparation method and application thereof to an anti-
cancer drug. The method comprises the following steps: crushing selfheal clusters, decolorizing by use of
ethanol, adding
distilled water, performing
reflux extraction, deproteinizing the extracting solution, performing
ultrafiltration, and freeze-
drying the retained liquid to obtain
polysaccharide; preparing a
polysaccharide solution of which the concentration is 10 mg / mL to 40 mg / mL, heating to the temperature of 40-60 DEG C, regulating pH by using
sodium hydroxide, slowly adding a
zinc salt solution into the polysaccharide solution, reacting for 6-24 hours, simultaneously performing an discontinuous homogenization process by using a high-shear
homogenizer, regulating the pH by using
hydrochloric acid, centrifuging to obtain supernatant liquor, putting the supernatant liquor into a
dialysis bag for
dialysis, collecting the solution in the
dialysis bag, and performing freeze-
drying to obtain the selfheal polysaccharide
zinc chelate. The product disclosed by the invention is simple and easy to implement in preparation method, has a remarkable anti-proliferation effect on
human cancer cells and also causes no
cytotoxicity to normal cells of the
human body, so the selfheal polysaccharide
zinc chelate is an ideal anti-
cancer drug or a health care product and also has a zinc replenishment effect.
