Pleuran is an insoluble polysaccharide (β-(1,3/1,6)-D-glucan), isolated from Pleurotus ostreatus. CAS registry numbers are unique numerical identifiers for Chemical compounds Polymers biological sequences mixtures and Alloys They are also referred to Molar mass, symbol M, is the Mass of one mole of a substance ( Chemical element or Chemical compound) In Chemistry, the standard state of a material is its state at 1 bar (100 Kilopascals exactly Polysaccharides are relatively complex Carbohydrates They are Polymers made up of many Monosaccharides joined together by Glycosidic bonds The Oyster mushroom, or Pleurotus ostreatus, is a common mushroom prized for its edibility [1]
Pleuran belongs to a group of glucose polymers commonly called beta-glucans demonstrating biological response modifier properties. Glucose (Glc a Monosaccharide (or simple Sugar) also known as grape sugar, is an important Carbohydrate in Biology. A polymer is a large Molecule ( Macromolecule) composed of repeating Structural units typically connected by Covalent Chemical bonds β-Glucans' (or beta- Glucans) are Polysaccharides occurring in the Bran of Cereal grains the cell wall of baker's yeast Biological response modifers, also known as BRM's are substances that the human body produces naturally as well as something that scientists can create in a lab These immunomodulating properties render the host more resistant to infections and neoplasms. [2]
Pleuran is also being studied as a potential immunologic adjuvant (Mojžišová et al. In Immunology, an adjuvant is an agent that may stimulate the Immune system and increase the response to a Vaccine, without having any specific Antigenic 2005). [3]
