In this study, a cyclophosphamide (CTX) induced secondary immunodeficiency mouse model was adopted to investigate the immunoregulatory effects of indole 3 acetylated high amylose maize starch derivative (HAMSIAA).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mice were fed a basal diet supplemented with 0.5% or 1% HAMSIAA for nine consecutive days, with CTX administered starting on day 7. Immune organ injury, splenic CD4\u207a\/CD8\u207a T cell balance, serum immunoglobulins, intestinal barrier integrity, gut microbiota composition and purine related metabolome were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HAMSIAA attenuated CTX triggered damage to immune organs, maintained the splenic CD4\u207a\/CD8\u207a T cell balance, and increased serum levels of Immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin G (IgG), and immunoglobulin M (IgM). In addition, HAMSIAA improved intestinal barrier integrity and modulated gut microbiota composition, as evidenced by changes in the Bacillota\/Bacteroidota (B\/B) ratio and a reduction in Pseudomonadota abundance. Metabolomic analyses further revealed that HAMSIAA was associated with modulation of the purine salvage pathway, including downregulation of hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) and altered levels of metabolites such as inosine and xanthine, which may contribute to its immunoprotective effects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
