Product Description
20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 is the major component of ginseng. 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 inhibits Na+ and hKv1.4 channels with IC50 of 32.2±4.5 and 32.6±2.2 μM, respectively. 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 also inhibits Aβ, NF-κB activity and COX-2 expression.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Ginsenoside Rg3 is a key component in how it affects Na+ channels. Inward Na+ peak current (INa) is reversibly inhibited by ginsenoside Rg3 therapy, with a voltage-dependent IC50 of 32.2±4.5 μM [1]. Ginsenoside Rg3 at 100 μM had an average 65% inhibitory effect on hKv1.4 channel current. Ginsenoside Rg3 has reversible and concentration-dependent actions. The Hill coefficient and IC50 value are 1.59±0.13 and 32.6±2.2 μM, respectively[2]. Ginsenoside Rg3 has the ability to dramatically suppress NF-κB activity, which in turn lowers COX-2 expression. In order to assess the cytotoxicity of ginsenoside Rg3 on A549 cells that had been inflamed by IL-1β, the cells were treated for four hours with IL-1β (10 ng/mL) then for twelve hours with ginsenoside Rg3 at doses ranging from 100 to 900 ng/mL. ..H. The MTT assay was used to examine cell viability. When ginsenoside Rg3 was added to IL-1β-induced inflammatory A549 cells, there was no discernible cytotoxicity (Con) as opposed to PBS-treated cells. We investigated A549 cell inflammation to determine the anti-inflammatory effect of ginsenoside Rg3 on inflammation-induced human lung epithelial cells. stimulated by IL-1β (10 ng/mL) and treated with either 900 nM Rg3 or 5 μM dexamethasone (Dex). Western blot analysis was used to assess NF-κB activation in order to assess the impact of ginsenoside Rg3 therapy on A549 cells. Phosphorylated NF-κB p65/total NF-κB p65 densitometry in Rg3-treated cells was much lower than in IL-1β-stimulated inflammatory A549 cells. NF-κB activation is linked to the relevance of Rg3 therapy in lowering the p-p65/p65 ratio. Moreover, COX-2 expression can be successfully downregulated by ginsenoside Rg3 [3].
ln Vivo
The natural substance ginsenoside Rg3 ((20S)-Rg3) lowers Aβ. For four weeks, APP/PS1 mice received a daily intraperitoneal injection of ginsenoside Rg3 (10 mg/kg/day). Aβ40 and Aβ42 in the brain were significantly reduced after treatment with ginsenoside Rg3, according to an Aβ ELISA assay of brain tissue [4].

Additional Infomation
(20S)-ginsenoside Rg3 is a ginsenoside found in Panax ginseng and Panax japonicus var. major that is dammarane which is substituted by hydroxy groups at the 3beta, 12beta and 20 pro-S positions, in which the hydroxy group at position 3 has been converted to the corresponding beta-D-glucopyranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, and in which a double bond has been introduced at the 24-25 position. It has a role as an apoptosis inducer, an antineoplastic agent, a plant metabolite and an angiogenesis modulating agent. It is a ginsenoside, a tetracyclic triterpenoid and a glycoside. It is functionally related to a (20S)-protopanaxadiol. It derives from a hydride of a dammarane.
Ginsenoside Rg3 has been reported in Panax notoginseng, Panax ginseng, and other organisms with data available.
