ginsenoside rb/neoplasms

The blood of cancer patients is in a state of hypercoagulability, easily leading to thrombosis. Anemia is also a complication of tumors. Anemia and thrombosis affect the treatment of tumor patients.

Ginsenosides Rb were extracted from the stems

The present study investigated the protective effects of ginsenoside Rb(1) (GRb(1)) against genotoxicity induced by cyclophosphamide (CP). Single cell gel electrophoresis, flow cytometry assay with annexin V-FITC/propidine iodide (PI) and acridine orange (AO)/ethidium bromide (EB) staining assay

OBJECTIVE Panax ginseng and its extracts have long been used for medical purposes; there is increasing interest in developing ginseng products as cancer preventive or therapeutic agents. The present study was designed to determine biological structure-activity relationships (SAR) for saponins

Minor ginsenosides, such as compound K, Rg₃(S), which can be produced by deglycosylation of ginsenosides Rb₁, showed strong anti-cancer effects. However, the anticancer effects of gypenoside LXXV, which is one of the deglycosylated shapes of ginsenoside Rb₁, is still unknown due to the rarity of its

The anticarcinogenic effects of epicatechin (EC) and ginsenoside Rb(2) (Rb(2)), which are major components of green tea and Korea ginseng, respectively, were investigated using a model system of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in WB-F344 rat liver epithelial cells.

Dietary supplements are not subject to the same pre-market approval as conventional drugs, thus the true efficacy and, in cases, safety of these products is not known. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential anti-inflammatory properties of three herbal constituents, apigenin

More than 25 dammarane-type tetracyclic triterpenoid saponins have been isolated from ginseng, the root and rhizome of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer (Araliaceae). The genuine sapogenins of those saponins, 20(S)-protopanaxa-diol and -triol, were identified as 20(S) 12beta-hydroxy-and 20(S)

Acute lung injury (ALI) is considered as an uncontrolled inflammatory response that can leads to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which limits the therapeutic strategies. Ginsenosides Rb1 (Rb1), an active ingredient obtained from Panax ginseng, possesses a broad range of pharmacological

The methanol extract of Vietnamese ginseng (Panax vietnamensis) was found to possess hepatocytoprotective effects on D-galactosamine (D-GalN)/tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced cell death in primary cultured mouse hepatocytes. Further chemical investigation of the extract afforded two

The overexpression of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) or the multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) confers multidrug resistance (MDR) to cancer cells. MDR cells can be sensitized to anticancer drugs when treated concomitantly with an MDR modulator. In this study, we investigated whether or not ginseng

Our previous studies have demonstrated that the methanol extract of heat-processed Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer exerts antioxidative, antiinflammatory, and anti-tumor-promoting effects. In the present study, we examined the antiinflammatory effects of several ginsenosides (Rb(1), Rc, Re, Rg(1), Rg(3))

BACKGROUND After reports of adverse effects with hormone replacement therapy, such as reproductive and breast cancer and coronary heart disease, much attention has been given to the development of new remedies to alleviate menopausal depression in women, but methods for their preclinical evaluation
