Abstract

Polyacetylenes were isolated from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer (Family Araliaceae), and their inhibitory effects on growth, infection and VacA vacuolation of Helicobacter pylori (HP) were investigated. Ginseng polyacetylenes did not inhibit the infection of HP into KATO cells. However, polyacetylenes inhibited HP growth and vacuolation of Hela by VacA toxin. Panaxytriol showed the most potent inhibition with $IC_{50}$ values of 0.05 and 0.046 mg/ml, respectively.
