20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) possess an ability to inhibit the lung metastasis of tumor cells via inhibition of the adhesion and invasion of tumor cells. It inhibits the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC) and has anti-angiogenesis activities.
Ginsenoside-F3 has immunoenhancing activity by regulating production and gene expression of type 1, type 2 cytokines in murine spleen cells. Ginsenoside-F3 enhances the NF-kappaB DNA binding activity induced by ConA in murine spleen cells (10 μM).
1. Ginsenoside Rg5 could be a beneficial agent for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. 2. Ginsenoside Rg5 suppresses LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production and proinflammatory TNF-α secretion. 3. Ginsenoside Rg5 can ameliorate lung inflammation possib
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 Rg1 (Panaxoside Rg1) is a class of steroid glycosides, and triterpene saponins found exclusively in the plant genus Panax (ginseng). It improves spatial learning and increase hippocampal synaptophysin level in mice, plus demonstrates estrogen-like activity.
(20S)-Protopanaxadiol (20-Epiprotopanaxadiol) (20-Epiprotopanaxadiol), an apoptosis inducer, is an aglycon metabolic derivative of the protopanaxadiol-type ginseng saponin.
Ginsenoside Rb3 (Gypenoside IV) is a natural triterpenoid saponin, exhibiting inhibition effect on TNFα-induced NF-κB transcriptional activity. It also inhibits the induction of COX-2 and iNOS mRNA.
Ginsenoside Ro (Chikusetsusaponin V) can reduce TXA2 production, weakly reduce COX-1 and TXAS activities, and has antiplatelet effects as a Ca2+ antagonist with an IC50 of 155 μM.
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.
Notoginsenoside R2 (20(S)-Notoginsenoside R2) has neuroprotection against 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity, is associated with Notoginsenoside R2-mediated P90RSK and Nrf2 activation through MEK1/2-ERK1/2 pathways.
1. Ginsenoside Rh4 could be safely used as adjuvant with low or non-haemolytic effect. 2. Ginsenoside Rh4 has cytotoxic activity and its aglycone against cancer cell lines.
