This study purified two polysaccharides (LBMPs) from Maxim in several steps. The chemical structure of LBMP-2 was determined by HPGPC, FT-IR, IC, H and C NMR, AFM, SEM, and TEM. The results show that LBMP-2 was mainly composed of GalA, and the Mw of LBMP-2 is 23.799 kDa. In addition, the antioxidant activity, and the antitumor activity and were studied. LBMP-2 has excellent antioxidant and antitumor capacity. The inhibition of tumor cell proliferation may result in the inhibition of aerobic respiration and glycolysis. Tumor growth inhibition may inhibit the expression of AMPK in tumors and enhance spleen function. Compared with conventional chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide, LBMP-2 is less harmful to the body and safer. Therefore, LBMP-2 provides a potential source of antitumor drugs.
