오래전부터 약재로서 이용되어온 인삼(Panax ginseng)은 그 효능이 과학적으로 밝혀지면서 세계적으로 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 그러나, 서양삼에 비해 점차 뒤처지고 있는 우리나라의 인삼산업의 경쟁력 확보를 위해 기능성 식품으로서의 인삼개발이 필요한 실정이다. 발효인삼은 유용한 미생물을 probiotic으로서 공급할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 미생물에 의해 인삼의 ginsenoside 성분이 특이적으로 전환되어 기능적으로 우수한 제품이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 인삼분말만을 영양분으로 한 액체 배지에서 청국장에서 분리된 Bacillus 균주와 유산균의 생장능 및 인삼의 주요 ginsenoside의 전환능력을 알아보았다. 인삼 2.5% (w/v), 1% (w/v)의 인삼분말만을 영양분으로 한 액체배지에서 생장능과 발효 후 ginsenoside의 전환 여부를 확인하였다. 사용한 Bacillus 균주와 유산균 모두 인삼배지에서 $10^{7}\;CFU/ml$을 초과하는 생장능을 보였고, Bacillmus의 경우 ginsenoside $Rg_{1},\;Rb_{1},\;Rb_{2},\;Rc,\;Rd$간에 각 균주마다 특이적인 ginsenoside 전환 반응을 보였다. 따라서, 이 균주들은 발효인삼의 제조를 위한 접종균주로서 이용이 가능하리라 사료된다.

In order to investigate the major metabolite patterns of aged Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer roots, the ginsenoside contents for white ginseng roots of various ages were compared. The 1-year to 6-year old roots were extracted with methanol, and then the methanol-soluble metabolites were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The metabolite contents of the 1-year and 2-year roots, including the ginsenosides and minor components, were not different, but the $Rg_1$, Re, and Rc ginsenoside contents between the 2-year and 3-year roots showed significant differences. $Rg_1$ and Rc increased significantly in the 1-year to 2-year roots, and Re increased significantly from the 3-year root age. Rd increased slightly until the 2-year age and decreased from the 3-year age. Based on the ginsenoside distributions and contents at various root ages, we have suggested 2 biogenesis schemes using the ginsenosides that have been isolated from the roots of P. ginseng so far.

Background: Ginsenosides are the major effective ingredients responsible for the pharmacological effects of ginseng. Malonyl ginsenosides are natural ginsenosides that contain a malonyl group attached to a glucose unit of the corresponding neutral ginsenosides. Methods: Medium-pressure liquid chromatography and semipreparative high-performance liquid chromatography were used to isolate purified compounds and their structures determined by extensive one-dimensional- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. Results: A new saponin, namely malonyl-ginsenoside Re, was isolated from the fresh flower buds of Panax ginseng, along with malonyl-ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd. Some assignments for previously published $^1H$- and $^{13}C$-NMR spectra were found to be inaccurate. Conclusion: This study reports the complete NMR assignment of malonyl-ginsenoside Re, $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$, Rc, and Rd for the first time.

This study compared the contents of ginsenoside according to the extract conditions of red ginseng to provide basic information for developing functional food using red ginseng. According to the result, the content of crude saponin was highest in 72 hours of extraction at $82^{\circ}C$ (RG-823). The content of prosapogenin (ginsenoside $Rh_1,\;Rh_2,\;Rg_2,\;Rg_3$) was highest in 48 hours of extraction, and followed by 72 and 24 hours at $82^{\circ}C$. And at $93^{\circ}C$ the prosapogenin contents were highest in the order of 48 hours, and next in 24 and 72 hours. In addition, ginsenoside $Rb_1,\;Rb_2$ Rc and Re were not detected in 72 hours of extraction at $93^{\circ}C$ (RG-933) presumedly due to hydrolysis, but ginsenoside Rd, Rf and $Rg_1$ were detected as long as 72 hours of extraction. These results show that protopanaxatriol group is relatively more resistant to heat than protopanaxadiol group.

The effects of the five ginsenosides on the activities of particulate adenylate cyclase and particulate guanylate cylase of rat brain have been studied. The range of concentrations of ginsenosides were between 10$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 500$\mu\textrm{g}$ per 500${mu}ell$ reaction mixture, Also, the effects of three ginsenosides on the activity of soluble guanylate cylace have been studied in the same range of concentrations as in particulate adenylate cyclase. Only ginsenoside Re has shown the reciprocal feeects when tested with particulated adenylate cyclase and particulate guanylated cyclase. Regulatory action of the several mononucleotides on the activities of adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase was examined. Ginsenoside Rd-inhibited adenylate cyclase was activated in great extent by the addition of increasing amount of GMP. On the other hand, ginsenoside Rc-activated guanylate cyclase was inhibited by the addition of increasing amount of AMP and GMP. The fact that the stimulatory action of GMP is observed only with particulated adenylate cyclase but not with soluble suanylate cyclase suggests that the action is membrane-related one. The competitive action was observed between ginsenoside Rb2 and dopamine in their binding to the receptors. This result is clear-cut evidence that the ginsenoside Rb2 binds specifically to $\beta$-adrenergic receptors.

Following ginsenoside-Rb1-hydrolyzing assay, strictly anaerobic bacteria were isolated from human feces and identified as Prevotella oris. The bacteria hydrolyzed ginsenoside Rb1 and Rd to $20-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl-20(S)-protopanaxadiol$ (I), ginsenoside Rb2 to $20-O-[{\alpha}-L-arabinofuranosyl (1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl] - 20(S)-protopanaxadiol$ (ll) and ginsenoside Rc to $20-O-[{\alpha}-L-arabinofuranosyl (1{\rightarrow} 6){\beta}-D-g1ucopyranosyl]-20(S)-protopanaxadiol$ (III) like fecal microflora, but did not attack ginsenoside Re nor Rgl (Protopanaxatriol-type). Pharmacokinetic studies of ginseng saponins was also performed using specific pathogen free rats and demonstrated that the intestinal bacterial metabolites I-111, 20(S)- protopanaxatriol(IV) and 20(S)-protopanaxadiol(V) were absorbed from the intestines to $blood(0.4-5.1\;{\mu}g/ml)$ after oral administration with total saponin(1 g/kg/day).

This study was done for the determination of ginsenosides contents of Korean ginseng and ginseng products as well as the development of analytical method for ginsenosides. It is known that perfect segregation of ginsenoside Rg and Re is not easy, but in this study almost perfect segregation can be possible by the control of concentration between acetonitrile and water. Among Korean ginseng, ginseng powdered tea and red ginseng powdered tea, the highest ginsenosides content of sum of each 7 kind o ginsenoside was found in red ginseng powdered tae as 23,211${\mu}g$ per 1g/dw The ginsenoside content of ginseng powdered tea was lower than red ginseng powdered tea as 15,217${\mu}g$ per 1g/dw Total ginsenoside content in the root of ginseng was 29,268${\mu}g$ per 1/dw Each amount of ginsenoside contained in ginseng root was in the order of Rb1, Rg1, and Rc. It was shown that there was difference in constitutional element of ginsenosides in ginseng powdered tea and ginseng root.

It was reported that Red ginseng contains specific ginsenoside-Rg$_2$,-Rg$_3$,-Rh$_1$and -Rh$_2$, which show various pharmacological effects. However, production of these specific ginsenosides from Red ginseng is not commercially applicable because of high cost of the raw material, roots. This work was carried out to examine the production of Red ginseng specific ginsenosides from Agrobacterium-transformed hairy roots. Hairy roots were induced from 3 year-old root segment of Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) after infection with Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4. Among many lines of hairybroots, KGHR-8A was selected. Steam heat treatment of hairy roots was resulted in the changes of ginsenoside composition. Eleven ginsenosides were detected in heat-treated hairy roots but eight in freeze dried hairy roots. In heat treated hairy root, content of ginsenoside-Rb$_1$,Rb$_2$,Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, and Rg$_1$were decreased compared to those of freeze dried hairy roots. However, heat treatment strongly enhanced the amount of Red ginseng specific ginsenogides (ginsenoside-Rg$_2$,-Rg$_3$,-Rh$_1$and -Rh$_2$). Amounts of ginsenoside-Rg$_3$,-Rh$_1$and -Rh$_2$ in heat-treated hairy roots were 2.58, 3.62 and 1.08 mg/g dry wt, respectively, but these were detected as trace amount in hairy roots without heat treatment. Optimum condition of heat treatment for the production of Red ginseng specific ginsenoside was 2 h at 105$^{\circ}C$. This result represents that Red ginseng specific ginsenoside can be producted from hairy roots by steam heat treatment.

Liver protective effects of ginsenosides as well as fractions of dammarane glycosides of Panax ginseng were studied using galactosamine (GalN)-induced cytotoxicity in primary cultured rat hepatocytes. Preventing effects on GalN-induced hepatotoxicity were found both microscopic observation and determination of GPT level with total dammarane glycosides fraction and $20(S)-ginsenoside-Rb_1$ as well as $20(S)-ginsenoside-Rg_1$ at the concentration of $50{\mu}g/ml$. The syntheses of both protein and RNA were significantly increased by the treatment of $50{\mu}g/ml$ of total dammarane glycoside fraction, $20(S)-ginsenoside-Rb_1$, -Rc, -Re and $-Rg_1$, respectively in both normal and GalN-induced cytotoxic hepatocytes.
