Green microalga Dictyosphaerium chlorelloides was found to be a significant producer of the extracellular biopolymer, a potential fytochemical with pharmacodynamic properties. Dominant components of the biopolymer were found to be Gal (39 wt%) with its methyl derivatives (15 wt%), Rha (19 wt%) and Man (14 wt%). NMR spectroscopy revealed complex structure with galactan backbone branched by sugars in furano and pyrano forms in alpha and beta configurations. Biopolymer antitussive effect was similar to that of centrally acting antitussive drugs, indicating its relatively good antitussive potential.
