Abstract(s)
The hot water extracts from Pterospartum tridentatum dried inflorescences are used in the
northeastern portuguese region of Tras-os-Montes due to its therapeutic properties. The
therapeutic properties attributed to hot water extracts from plants are often related with
polysaccharide macrophage immunostimulatory activity. This work intends to identify the
structural features of polysaccharides from Pferospartum tridentatum hot water extracts and to
evaluate their putative macrophage immunostimulatory activity. which may contribute to their
therapeutic properties.
