摘要

This study developed three structurally modified derivatives (acetylated rEPS-2 A, phosphorylated rEPS-2P, and carboxymethylated rEPS-2 C) from rEPS-2, a bioactive exopolysaccharide produced by Bacillus velezensis SN-1. Comprehensive characterization using gel permeation chromatography, FT-IR, and NMR spectroscopy confirmed successful functional group incorporation, while SEM and TGA analyses revealed significant alterations in surface morphology and thermal stability. Biological evaluation demonstrated that carboxymethylated rEPS-2 C exhibited markedly enhanced antioxidant capacity (showing 28.6% increase in DPPH scavenging activity compared to native rEPS-2) and superior antitumor effects (with 75.35% inhibition against HepG-2 cells), outperforming other derivatives. These findings highlight the structure-activity relationship of polysaccharide modifications and position rEPS-2 C as a promising dual-functional agent for oxidative stress-related disorders and cancer therapy applications.
