Journal Title: Traditional Medicine Research - Year 2021, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Ginseng is well-known traditional medicine especially in Asian countries. Ginseng was listed in 120 safety medicines of the Chinese book, Shennong’s Classic of Materia Medica (written in the Eastern Han Dynasty; 25–220 C.E.). In Panax species several components like ginsenosides, triterpene saponins, polyacetylenes, polysaccharides, phenolics, alkaloids, lignans and peptides are contained. Yang et al. reviewed that 257 typical dammarane-type triterpenes, ginsenosides were isolated from Panax species and divided into protopanaxadiol and protopanaxatriol types having sugars attached to hydroxyl group at C-3 and C-20 or at C-6 and C-20, respectively. Ginsenoside Rc is a protopanaxadiol type ginsenoside such as a target compound taken up in the corresponding paper.
