Abstract: Crude polysaccharides, extracted from the stem of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz by hot water(80 ℃), were fractionated by DEAE-52 anion exchange chromatography and purified by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration chromatography to afford a fraction, named WAM. The polysaccharide(WAM) was subjected to structural identification by a combination of chemical and instrumental analysis. The molecular weight of WAM was measured to be 3263  by high performance liquid chromatography. Gas chromatography analysis indicated that WAM composed of glucopyranose and galactopyranose in  a  molar ratio of 3.01:1.00. The infrared spectra and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spectra further confirmed that the configuration of D-glucopyranose and D-galactopyranose were of β-form. On the basis of partial acid hydrolysis, periodate oxidation, Smith degradation and methylation analysis, it can be concluded  WAM had a backbone consisting of (1→3)-linked-β-D-glucopyranosyl and (1→3,6)-linked-β-D-glucopyranosyl, which was branched with a glycosyl residue, β-D-galactopyanose(1→ linked residue, at the C6 position of glucosyl along the main chain.
