Ginsenoside Rg1

Description

Ginsenoside RG1(Rg1) is a natural product found in Panax notoginseng, Panax ginseng, and Panax vietnamensis. It is one of the primary bioactive ingredients in Panax notoginseng saponins. Numerous studies have indicated that Rg1 plays significant roles in health benefits such as anticancer, neuroprotective, anti-senescence, anti-inflammation, and antioxidative effects. Also, extensive research has demonstrated that Rg1 is associated with various diseases, including cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, spinal cord injury, and liver injury. Xue et al. and Yu et al. demonstrated that Rg1 ameliorated streptozotocin-induced oxidative stress and myocardial apoptosis and suppressed HG-induced mesenchymal activation and fibrosis[1].

Ginsenoside Rg1 protects against arthitis through osteoclast differentiation inhibition. Anti-tumor agent, inhibits the NF-kB-dependant MMP-expression in PMA (phorbol myristate acetate)-induced tumor cell invasion.

What are the applications of Application

Ginsenoside Rg1 is a class of triterpene saponins and steroid glycosides

Definition

ChEBI: A ginsenoside found in Panax ginseng and Panax japonicus var. major that is dammarane which is substituted by hydroxy groups at the 3beta, 6alpha, 12beta and 20 <ital pro-S positions, in which the hydroxy groups at positions 6 and 20 have been converted to the corresponding beta-D-glucopyranosides, and in which a double bond has been introduced at the 24-25 posit on.
