Effects of dammarane glycosides of Panax ginseng on primary cultured chicken embryonic brain cells were studied by microscopic observation and determination of the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC). Brain cells were prepared from the brain of 10-day-old chicken embryo and cultured with either a standard medium consisted of 85% Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), 10% horse serum and 5% chicken embryonic extracts or a deficient medium consisted of 90% DMEM and 10% horse serum. It was observed that dammarane glycosides of Panax ginseng seemed to show the tendency to stimulate the neurite outgrowth of brain cells which were cultured with a deficient medium under microscopic observation. The activity of PDHC in brain cells cultured with a deficient medium was increased by dammarane glycosides of Panax ginseng.

In order to establish the chemical standards for the quality control of ginsentgextract, an approach for the assay of sapogenin contents in the part of main roots and fibrous side roots was performed by combination of preparative thin layer chromotographic procedure and vanillin-$H_{2}SO_{4}$ color reaction. The contents of dammarane aglycones as funcction of dammarane glycosides in 80%-EtOH extracts were analyzed by the method from the main roots and fibrous side roots of Korean ginseng grown for 4-6 years. The differences by their grown ages in the contents of dammarane glycosides, in the ratio of panaxadiol to panaxatriol contents, and in the mounts of 80% EtOH extract were not significant in the parts of main roots and fibrous side roots of Korean gingeng. Differences due to the part for medicinal uses were highly significant in all parameters mentioned, showing following results ; in the main roots ; 80% EtOH extract, 12.7-15.7 % : the ratio of aglycone composition, 0.955-1.012 : dammarane glycoside (as diglucoside bases), 1.537-1.863 ; in fibrous isde roots ; 80% EtOH extract, 26.0-26.02% : dammarane glycoside, 4.767-5.641 : the ratio, 1.456-1.50.

Effects of dammarane glycosides of Panax ginseng on primary cultured chicken embryonic skeletal muscle cells were studied by microscopic observation and determination of the activity of acetylcholinesterase. Muscle cells were prepared from the breast of 12-day-old chicken embryo and cultured with either a medium consisted of 87.5% Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), 10% horse serum and 2.5% chicken embryonic extract or a medium consisted of 90% DMEM and 10% horse serum. It was observed that dammarane glycosides of Panax ginseng seemed to show the tendency to stimulate the growth and the differentiation of the muscle cells cultured with a medium consisted of 90% DMEM and 10% horse serum under microscopic observation. The activity of acetylcholinesterase in the muscle cells cultured with a medium consisted of 90% DMEM and 10% horse serum was increased by dammarane glycosides of Panax ginseng.

Background: Panax ginseng has been used as Korean medicine for various diseases. It has antioxidant, hypotensive, sedative, analgesic, and endocrine activities. Dammarane-type triterpenes from the plant have various beneficial effects. Methods: A dammarane-type triterpene saponin was isolated from P. ginseng root through chromatography such as repeated column chromatography and medium pressure liquid chromatography. Results and conclusion: New dammarane-type triterpene saponin was isolated for the first time from nature. The structure was elucidated as ginsenoside Rg12 (1) based on spectral data. There may be good materials from P. ginseng for the development of industrial applications such as nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical purposes.

A new dammarane glycoside named ginsenoside $Rf_{2}$ has been isolated from Korean red ginseng (Panax ginseng) and its chemical structure has been elucidated as $6-O-[{\alpha}-L-rham-nopyranosyl (1{\rightarrow}2){\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl]$$dammarane-3{\beta}, 6{\alpa}, 12{\beta}$, 20(R), 25-pentol by chemical and spectral methods.

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.
