The root of Panax ginseng, is a Korea traditional medicine, which is used in both raw and processed forms due to their different pharmacological activities. As part of a continued chemical investigation of ginseng, the focus of this research is on the isolation and identification of compounds from Panax ginseng root by open column chromatography, medium pressure liquid chromatography, semi-preparative-high performance liquid chromatography, Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric, and nuclear magnetic resonance. Dammarane-type triterpenoid saponins were isolated from Panax ginseng root by open column chromatography, medium pressure liquid chromatography, and semi-preparative-high performance liquid chromatography. Their structures were identified as protopanaxadiol ginsenosides [gypenoside-V (1), ginsenosides-Rb1 (2), -Rb2 (3), -Rb3 (4), -Rc (5), and -Rd (6)], protopanaxatriol ginsenosides [20(S)-notoginsenoside-R2 (7), notoginsenoside-Rt (8), 20(S)-O-glucoginsenoside-Rf (9), 6-O-[$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1$\rightarrow$2-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl]-20-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl-$3\beta$,$12\beta$, 20(S)-dihydroxy-dammar-25-en-24-one (10), majoroside-F6 (11), pseudoginsenoside-Rt3 (12), ginsenosides-Re (13), -Re5 (14), -Rf (15), -Rg1 (16), -Rg2 (17), and -Rh1 (18), and vinaginsenoside-R15 (19)], and oleanene ginsenosides [calenduloside-B (20) and ginsenoside-Ro (21)] through the interpretation of spectroscopic analysis. The configuration of the sugar linkages in each saponin was established on the basic of chemical and spectroscopic data. Among them, compounds 1, 8, 10, 11, 12, 19, and 20 were isolated for the first time from P. ginseng root.

본 연구는 김치에서 분리한 L. acidophilus를 이용하여 홍삼 농축액의 진세노사이드 변화 및 폴리페놀 변화량을 확인하였고, 발효유제품 중 신선치즈를 선정하여 홍삼 발효물의 기능성 소재로의 사용 가능성을 확인하였다. 홍삼농축액3% 처리구에 L. acidophilus 유산균주를 $1.0{\times}10^8CFU/mL$로 첨가하여 $40^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 발효한 경우 유산균수는 발효 0시간째 $3.5{\times}10^8CFU/mL$에서 발효 16시간째 $3.8{\times}10^8CFU/mL$로 증가하였다가 그 후 감소하여 발효 24시간째에는 $2.2{\times}10^8CFU/mL$로 측정되었다. Ginsenoside 전환 양상은 고분자 물질로는 Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, Rg1이 검출되었고, 저분자 물질로는 Rg3(20S), Rg3(20R), Rh2(20S), Rh1(20R), Rh2(20S), Rh2(20R), F1, Compound K, Protopanaxadiol(20S), Protopanaxadiol(20R)이 검출되었다. 고분자 물질이 감소함에 따라 저분자 물질인 Rg3(20S) 및 Rg3(20R), protopanaxadiol(20R), F1, Compound K 등이 증가하였다. 홍삼 발효물의 총 페놀 화합물의 변화량은 에틸아세테이트 분획물 및 16% ACN 분획물에서 발효시간이 증가할수록 폴리페놀 함량이 증가하였다. 홍삼 발효물을 첨가하여 제조한 신선치즈의 저장 중 품질변화를 분석하였으며, 홍삼 발효물의 첨가농도가 높아질수록 pH는 저장기간 동안 감소하였고, 산도 및 유산균수는 증가하였다. 관능검사 결과 홍삼 발효물 1% 처리구가 대조구와 유사한 평가를 얻었으며, 이때의 사포닌 함량은 14.8 mg%, 총 페놀함량은 3.7 mg%이었다. 따라서 향후 동물모델을 통한 추가적인 효능검증이 이뤄진다면 홍삼 발효물을 이용한 기능성 강화 고부가가치 신선치즈 제조가 가능할 것으로 보인다.

인삼제품제조용(人蔘製品製造用)엑기스의 숙성중(熟成中)에 일어나는 ginsenosides의 분해(分解)에 미치는 온도(溫度)의 영향(影響)을 구명(究明)하기 위하여 숙성온도(熟成溫度) 및 시간(時間)에 따른 ginsenosides의 함량변화(含量變化)로써 분해속도상수(分解速度常數) 및 반감기(牛減期)를 구(求)하였고 분해속도상수(分解速度常數)와 온도(溫度)에 대(對)한 Arrhenius plot에 의하여 활성화(活性化)에너지 및 $Q_{10}$ value를 구(求)하여 ginsenosides의 분해속도상수(分解速度常數)의 온도의존성(溫度依存性)에 대(對)한 관계식(關係式)을 설정(設定)하였다. 가. ginsenosides의 분해반응(分解反應)은 1차반응(次反應)을 나타냈으며 분해시(分解時)의 반감기(半減期)가 $100^{\circ}C$에서 34시간(時間), $90^{\circ}C$에서 70시간(時間), $80^{\circ}C$에서는 131시간(時間)이므로 ginsenosides의 함량변화(含量變化)만을 고려(考慮)한다면 $80^{\circ}C$이하(以下)의$70^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 숙성(熟成)함이 바람직하다. 나. 숙성중(熟成中)에 ginsenoside-Re가 감소(減少)하는 대신 $ginsenoside-Rg_2$가 증가(增加)하고 $ginsenoside-Rg_1$이 감소(減少)하는 대신 $ginsenoside-Rh_1$이 증가(增加)하므로 ginsenosides의 상호변환관계(相互變換關係)가 인정(認定)되었다. 다. ginsenosides의 분해시(分解時)의 온도상화(速度常數)가 $80^{\circ}C$에서 $5.30{\times}10^{-3}\;hr^{-1}$, $90^{\circ}C$에서 $9.90{\times}10^{-3}\;hr^{-1}$, 100"C에서는 $20.50{\times}10^{-3}\;hr^{-1}$으로서 숙성온도(熟成溫度)가 $10^{\circ}C$높아질 때마다 분해속도상수(分解速度常數)가 약(約) 2배(培) 증가(增加)하였고 또 $Q_{10}$ value도 $2.01{\sim}3.49$로서 숙성온도(熟成溫度)가 높아질수록 ginsenosides는 상대적(相對的)으로 불안정(不安定)하였다. 라. ginsenosides분해시(分解時)의 활성화(活性化)에너지 ($E_a$)는 $16.8{\sim}30.1$ kcal/mole의 범위 안에 있으며 ginsenoside-Re 및 $-Rg_1$이 $ginsenoside-Rb_1,\;-Rb_2$, -Rc 및 -Rd 보다 훨씬 높으므로 troil saponin이 diol saponin보다 온도(溫度)의 영향(影響)을 더 많이 받고 있었다. 마. total ginsenosides의 분해반응시(分解反應時)의 활성화(活性化)에너지($E_a$)는 17.7kcal/mole이었고 분해속도상수(分解速度常數)의 온도의존성(溫度依存性)은 $k=4.574{\times}10^8{\exp}(-8898.8/T)$의 관계식(關係式)으로 표시(表示)할 수 있다

Background: The chemical constituents of Panax ginseng are changed by processing methods such as steaming or sun drying. In the present study, the chemical change of Panax ginseng induced by steaming was monitored in situ. Methods: Samples were separated from the same ginseng root by incision during the steaming process, for in situ monitoring. Sampling was sequentially performed in three stages; FG (fresh ginseng) ${\rightarrow}$ SG (steamed ginseng) ${\rightarrow}$ RG (red ginseng) and 60 samples were prepared and freeze dried. The samples were then analyzed to determine 43 constituents among three stages of P. ginseng. Results: The results showed that six malonyl-ginsenoside (Rg1, Rb1, Rb3, Rc, Rd, Rb2) and 15 amino acids were decreased in concentration during the steaming process. In contrast, ginsenoside-Rh1, 20(S)-Rg2, 20(S, R)-Rg3 and Maillard reaction product such as AF (arginine-fructose), AFG (arginine-fructose-glucose), and maltol were newly generated or their concentrations were increased. Conclusion: This study elucidates the dynamic changes in the chemical components of P. ginseng when the steaming process was induced. These results are thought to be helpful for quality control and standardization of herbal drugs using P. ginseng and they also provide a scientific basis for pharmacological research of processed ginseng (Red ginseng).

Ginseng(Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) is reported to have many pharmaceutical activities. The minor ginsenosides(Rd, Rg3, Rh2 and compound K) display pharmaceutical properties superior to those of the major ginsenosides. These minor ginsenosides, which contribute a very small percentage, are produced by hydrolysis of the sugar moieties of the major ginsenosides. The pH of red ginseng extracts fermented with S. cerevisiae and S. carlsbergensis decreased rapidly during 3 days of fermentation, with no further significant change thereafter. After 20 days of fermentation, a relatively small difference remained in the acidity of extracts fermented with S. cerevisiae (0.54%) and S. carlsbergensis (0.58%). Reducing sugar in the S. cerevisiae and S. carlsbergensis extracts decreased from 25.86 to 4.54 mg/ml and 4.32 mg/ml glucose equivalents, respectively; and ethanol contents increased from 1.5% at day 0 to 16.0 and 15.0%, respectively, at 20 days. Ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Re, Rf, and Rg1 decreased during the fermentation with S. cerevisiae, but Rd and Rg3 increased by 12 days. Ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Re and Rg1 decreased gradually in the extract with S. carlsbergensis, but Rd and Rg3 were increased at 6 days and 9 days.

This study was carried out to utilize the byproducts (flower, immature and mature berry, leaf and stem) of ginseng. Yield of byproducts were $32.7{\pm}9.8g$ in flower, $68.2{\pm}2.2g$ in immature berry, $48.5{\pm}4.3g$ in mature berry, $316.2{\pm}20.5g$ in leaf, and $296.6{\pm}15.4g$ in stem per $3.3m^2$ ($180{\times}90cm$, ginseng root $675.5{\pm}35.7g$/drybasis. The total saponin contents of ginseng byproducts and root are $52.36{\pm}1.24$, $68.71{\pm}1.98$, $168.89{\pm}0.57$, $68.26{\pm}1.32$, $7.85{\pm}0.61$ and $35.08{\pm}0.96$ mg/g, respectively. The main ginsenoside of all byproducts was Re and the highest content was $132.23{\pm}1.56$ mg/g in mature berry. But flower and berry was not detected Rf and Rh1, respectively. Total polyphenolic compound content on mature berry was the highest, $2.242{\pm}0.140%$, after, immature berry > leaf > flower > root > stem order. The DPPH radical scavenging activity on mature berry was the highest, $0.115{\pm}0.004$ mg/mL($IC_{50}$), and the others were the same order of polyphenolic compound and ginsenoside content on byproducts.

Background: 20(S)-ginsenoside Rh2(GRh2), an effective natural histone deacetylase inhibitor, can inhibit acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell proliferation. Lactate regulated histone lactylation, which has different temporal dynamics from acetylation. However, whether the high level of lactylation modification that we first detected in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is associated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) resistance has not been reported. Furthermore, Whether GRh2 can regulate lactylation modification in ATRA-resistant APL remains unknown. Methods: Lactylation and METTL3 expression levels in ATRA-sensitive and ATRA-resistant APL cells were detected by Western blot analysis, qRT-PCR and CO-IP. Flow cytometry (FCM) and APL xenograft mouse models were used to determine the effect of METTL3 and GRh2 on ATRA-resistance. Results: Histone lactylation and METTL3 expression levels were considerably upregulated in ATRA-resistant APL cells. METTL3 was regulated by histone lactylation and direct lactylation modification. Overexpression of METTL3 promoted ATRA-resistance. GRh2 ameliorated ATRA-resistance by downregulated lactylation level and directly inhibiting METTL3. Conclusions: This study suggests that lactylation-modified METTL3 could provide a promising strategy for ameliorating ATRA-resistance in APL, and GRh2 could act as a potential lactylation-modified METTL3 inhibitor to ameliorate ATRA-resistance in APL.

인삼(Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer)은 가공방법fl 따라 크게 백삼과 홍삼으로 분류된다. 가공 공정 면에서 홍삼은 생 인삼(수삼)을 그대로 건조한 백삼과는 다르게 일정한 온도조건 하에서 수증기로 쪄서 건조 한 인삼으로 두 종류의 인삼간에는 열처리 공정에 차이점이 있다. 품질 안정성 면에서 홍삼은 열처리과정에서 효소의 불 활성화와 자체 항산화 물질의 증가로 저장성이 양호하고, 호화전분이 되어 끓일 때 내용성분이 잘 우러나오고 소화 흡수도 양호한 것으로 여겨진다. 성분 면에서 홍삼제조 시 열처리(steaming처리)와 가수분해 반응에 의해 화학성분의 구조적 변환이 일어나 홍삼특유의 암세포증식억제 활성 성분인 $ginsenosides-Rh_2,\;-Rh_4,\;-Rs_3,\;-Rs_4,\;-Rg_5$, 암세포 전이 억제 및 혈관확장 효과 등을 나타내는 $ginsenoside-Rg_3$ 등이 생성된다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 또한 비사포닌계 생리활성물질로 암세포 증식억제 활성을 가진 polyacetylenic alcobol의 구조적 변환에 의해 panaxytriol 등이 생성되고, 그리고 maillard 반응 생성물로 항산화 활성 성분인 maltol과 당과 아미노산이 결합된 아미노산 유도체인 arginyl-fructsyl-glucose등이 생성된다. 한편 홍삼과 백삼 및 이들 제품의 수출과 관련하여 각 수출 대상국의 진세노사이드 수준의 품질관리기준에 대한 충분한 분석화학적 정보의 확보가 필요하며, 금후 이에 적합한 품질기준의 설정 보완이 필요할 것이다. 특히 홍삼의 경우 찌는 온도와 시간의 장단에 따라, 또는 그 농축액 제조 시 추출 및 농축 조건(온도와 시간)에 따라 인삼의 품질 지표 성분으로 이용되고 있는 ginsenosides를 비롯한 상당한 성분의 변환이 일어날 수 있으므로 이를 고려한 품질관리방법의 고안이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 효능 면에서 홍삼과 백삼의 차별성에 대해서는 in vitro 혹은 in vivo 시험에서 노화억제효과와 관련된 항산화 활성을 비롯해서 혈액순환개선 효과, 암 발생 억제력 등의 약리 활성이 홍삼이 백삼보다 상대적으로 우수한 것으로 보고되었다. 아울러 한방의학에서 일반적으로 허를 보 하는 힘은 홍삼이 강한 것으로 인식되고 있다. 그러나 아직 실제 임상실험에 의한 비교 평가는 미흡한 실정이며, 특히 경구투여 후 체내 동태측면에서 그 효과의 차별성에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 금후 홍삼과 백삼의 효과 우열의 측면이 아닌 그 용도와 적응증에 차이가 있는지에 초점을 맞추어 보다 과학적 평가가 이루어져야 할 것이다. 결론적으로 가능한 동일한 재배조건에서 생산된 원료수삼으로 제조된 홍삼과 백삼의 원 생약과 그 추출 분획물, 또는 성분을 시료로 하여 화학성분 조성을 비교하고 이와 연계한 실험적 효능연구의 확충과 특히 임상적 효능 비교연구를 통해 과연 그 적응증에 차이가 있는지에 대한 보다 많은 과학적 검토가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

This study evaluated the anti-cholinesterases (ChEs) and antioxidant activities of white ginseng (WG) and black ginseng (BG) roots of Panax ginseng (PG), P. quinquefolium (PQ), and P. notoginseng (PN). Ginsenosides $Rg_1$, Re, Rf, $Rb_1$, Rc, $Rb_2$, and Rd were found in white PG, whereas Rf was not found in white PQ and Rf, Rc, and $Rb_2$ were not detected in white PN. The major ginsenoside content in steamed BG including $RK_3$, $Rh_4$, and 20(S)/(R)-$Rg_3$ was equivalent to approximately 70% of the total ginsenoside content. The WG and BG inhibited acetylcholinesteras (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in a dose dependent manner. The efficacy of BG roots of PG, PQ, and PN on AChE and BChE inhibition was greater than that of the respective WG roots. The total phenolic contents and 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity were increased by heat treatment. Among the three WG and BG, white PG and steamed black PQ have significantly higher contents of phenolic compounds. The best results for the DPPH scavenging activity were obtained with the WG and BG from PG. These results demonstrate that the steamed BG roots of the three studied ginseng species have both high ChEs inhibition capacity and antioxidant activity.

Red ginseng (Panax ginseng), a Korean traditional medicinal plant, contains a variety of ginsenosides as major functional components. It is necessary to remove sugar moieties from the major ginsenosides, which have a lower absorption rate into the intestine, to obtain the aglycone form. To screen for microorganisms showing bioconversion activity for ginsenosides from red ginseng, 50 yeast strains were isolated from Korean traditional meju (a starter culture made with soybean and wheat flour for the fermentation of soybean paste). Twenty strains in which a black zone formed around the colony on esculin-yeast malt agar plates were screened first, and among them 5 strains having high ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity on p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside as a substrate were then selected. Strain JNO301 was finally chosen as a bioconverting strain in this study on the basis of its high bioconversion activity for red ginseng extract as determined by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis. The selected bioconversion strain was identified as Candida allociferrii JNO301 based on the nucleotide sequence analysis of the 18S rRNA gene. The optimum temperature and pH for the cell growth were $20{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ and pH 5~8, respectively. TLC analysis confirmed that C. allociferrii JNO301 converted ginsenoside Rb1 into Rd and then into F2, Rb2 into compound O, Rc into compound Mc1, and Rf into Rh1. Quantitative analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography showed that bioconversion of red ginseng extract resulted in an increase of 2.73, 3.32, 33.87, 16, and 5.48 fold in the concentration of Rd, F2, compound O, compound Mc1, and Rh1, respectively.
