Novel galectin-8 targeting polysaccharides from Scutellaria baicalensis: Characterization and anti-gastric adenocarcinoma activity

Key Points

• Polysaccharides from Scutellaria baicalensis exhibit notable anti-gastric adenocarcinoma activity.
• In vitro assays show that these polysaccharides significantly inhibit cancer cell proliferation by up to 70%.
• Characterization techniques reveal the structural properties supporting their biological effects.
• Further exploration is needed to confirm efficacy in animal models and understand underlying mechanisms.
