1. Ginsenoside Rk3 and Rh4 could have a role in treating inflammatory diseases. 2. Ginsenoside Rk3 is often used as a major ingredient of the compound preparation for ischemic heart diseases.
Ginsenoside Rg6 can inhibit JK cell proliferation in human lymphocytoma and induce its apoptosis, the mechanism may through mitochondrial dysfunction and an increase of Bax expression and decrease of Bcl-2 expression.
Maltooctaose is a low molecular weight carbohydrate obtained by starch hydrolysis. It is composed of a group of linear α(1-4)-linked D-glucose polymers and trace amounts of (1-6)-linked glucose condensed with a degree of polymerization of 8.
Ginsenoside Rk1 is a component created by processing the ginseng plant at high temperatures. Ginsenoside Rk1 has an anti-inflammatory effect, suppresses the activation of Jak2/Stat3 signaling pathway and NF-κB. It also has an anti-tumor effect.
Ginsenoside Ra1, a component from ginseng, exhibits significant inhibitory effects on protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activation induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R).
Ginsenoside Rh3 is a natural product extracted from Ginseng C. A. Mey.Ginsenoside Rh3 has antifungal and antioxidant activities and induces Nrf2 activation in human retinal cells.
Pseudoginsenoside F11 (Ginsenoside A1) is a component of Panax quinquefolium (American ginseng) which main pharmacological activities are positive inotropic effect on isolated heart function, good therapeutic effect on myocardial ischemia, and good protective effect on cardio-cerebrovascular system and nervous system.
Cyclo(Gly-L-Pro), a cyclic dipeptide, demonstrates significant immunomodulatory activity by stimulating beneficial immune responses while simultaneously suppressing the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α, reducing mRNA expression of IL-1β and IL-6, and inhibiting nitric oxide (NO) production. it has also been shown to enhance memory and improve functional recovery in animal models, indicating substantial potential for neuroscience research due to its neuroprotective and immunostimulatory properties.
Dencichine (ODAP) is a neurotoxic agent. Dencichine is a haemostatic agent, the hemostatic effect relates to modulation of the coagulation system, platelet aggregation and fibrinolytic system. It has renoprotective effect, it could significantly prevent the progression of diabetic nephropathy possibly attribute to down-regulation of the TGF-β Smad pathway and rebalance the deposition and degradation of ECM proteins.
Vinaginsenoside R4 was isolated from the leaves of hydroponically grown ginseng. It inhibits melanin biosynthesis and enhances pigmentation in zebrafish without any cytotoxic effects on melan-a cells. It may have potential as a new skin whitening compound.
Panaxydol has anti-cancer activity, can inhibit the growth and apoptosis of cancer cells, the signaling mechanisms involve a [Ca(2+)](i) increase, JNK and p38 MAPK activation, cAMP, MAP kinase and ROS generation through NADPH oxidase and mitochondria.
Ginsenoside F4 has inhibitory effect on human lymphocytoma JK cell by inducing its apoptosis, the mechanism is related to the mitochondrial dysfunction and the increase of Bax expression and decrease of Bcl-2 expression.
