Product Description
Ginsenoside Ra3 can be extracted from Panax ginseng and has anti-cancer effect.
Ginsenoside Ra3 is a dammarane-type triterpenoid saponin and a protopanaxadiol (PPD)-type ginsenoside, isolated from the roots of Panax ginseng and Panax notoginseng. With a molecular formula of C59H100O27 and a molecular weight of 1241.4 g/mol, it is a major ginsenoside. It has been studied for its potential anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective activities.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Ginsenoside Ra3 is a saponin that has been reported to have anti-cancer activity. Its mechanism of action is likely related to its ability to modulate various signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammation. As a PPD-type ginsenoside, it may share similar activities with other ginsenosides, such as Rb1, Rb2, and Rc. It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Ginsenoside Ra3 demonstrates anti-cancer activity. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, although specific IC50 values are not widely reported. It also exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. These activities are consistent with the broader class of ginsenosides, which are known for their diverse pharmacological properties.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Ginsenoside Ra3 is believed to contribute to the pharmacological effects of Panax ginseng, which is used traditionally as a tonic and adaptogen. The plant is used for its purported benefits in improving vitality, reducing stress, and enhancing cognitive function. Ginsenoside Ra3's antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective activities may contribute to these effects.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro cytotoxicity assay for Ginsenoside Ra3 involves treating cancer cell lines with varying concentrations of the compound. Cell viability is assessed using standard colorimetric assays like MTT or SRB after 48-72 hours of treatment, from which the IC50 value is determined. Its antioxidant activity is measured by DPPH or ABTS radical scavenging assays.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell culture studies for Ginsenoside Ra3 utilize cancer cell lines to study its antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects. Cells are treated with the compound, and apoptosis is detected by flow cytometry using Annexin V/PI staining. Cell cycle analysis is performed by propidium iodide staining. The expression of proteins involved in cell survival and apoptosis is analyzed by Western blotting.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for Ginsenoside Ra3 are not extensively documented. However, its anticancer effects could be studied in xenograft models. Its neuroprotective effects could be studied in models of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Its anti-inflammatory effects could be studied in models of acute or chronic inflammation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Ginsenoside Ra3 has a molecular formula of C59H100O27 and a molecular weight of 1241.4 g/mol. It is a solid compound that is practically insoluble in water (8.4e-4 g/L at 25°C). It is soluble in organic solvents like DMSO. It is typically stored as a powder at -20°C for long-term stability. Its stability is maintained under recommended storage conditions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Ginsenoside Ra3 are limited, as it is a research compound. As a natural product from Panax ginseng, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. However, as a research compound, it is not intended for human therapeutic use, and comprehensive toxicity studies are not available. Standard safety precautions should be followed.

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
