This study was performed to enhance contents of low molecular weight ginsenoside Rh2 and Rg3 using an ultra high pressure and steaming process in wild cultured-Root in wild ginseng. For selective increase in contents of Rg3 and Rh2 in cultured wild ginseng roots, an ultra high extraction was applied at 500MPa for 20 min which was followed by steaming process at $90^{\circ}C$ for 12 hr. It was revealed that contents of ginsenosides, Rb1, Rb2, Rc and Rd, were decreased with the complex process described above, whereas contents of ginsenoside Rh2 and Rg3 were increased up to 4.918 mg/g and 6.115 mg/g, respectively. In addition, concentration of benzo[${\alpha}$]pyrene in extracts of the cultured wild ginseng roots treated by the complex process was 0.64 ppm but it was 0.78 ppm when it was treated with the steaming process. From the results, it was strongly suggested that low molecular weight ginsenosides, Rh2 and Rg3, are converted from Rb1, Rb2, Rc, and Rd which are easily broken down by an ultra high pressure and steaming process. This results indicate that an ultra high pressure and steaming process can selectively increase in contents of Rg3 and Rh2 in cultured wild ginseng roots and this process might enhance the utilization and values of cultured wild ginseng roots.

Background: The effects of diol-ginsenoside fraction (Diol-GF) and triol-ginsenoside fraction (Triol-GF) from Korean Red Ginseng on the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) were examined in diabetes-prone biobreeding (DP-BB) rats that spontaneously develop T1D through an autoimmune process. Methods: DP-BB female rats were treated with Diol-GF or Triol-GF daily from the age of 3-4 weeks up to 11-12 weeks (1 mg/g body weight). Results: Diol-GF delayed the onset, and reduced the incidence, of T1D. Islets of Diol-GF-treated DP-BB rats showed significantly lower insulitis and preserved higher plasma and pancreatic insulin levels. Diol-GF failed to change the proportion of lymphocyte subsets such as T cells, natural killer cells, and macrophages in the spleen and blood. Diol-GF had no effect on the ability of DP-BB rat splenocytes to induce diabetes in recipients. Diol-GF and diol-ginsenoside Rb1 significantly decreased tumor necrosis factor α production, whereas diol-ginsenosides Rb1 and Rd decreased interleukin 1β production in RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, mixed cytokine- and chemical-induced β-cell cytotoxicity was greatly inhibited by Diol-GF and diol-ginsenosides Rc and Rd in RIN5mF cells. However, nitric oxide production in RAW264.7 cells was unaffected by diol-ginsenosides. Conclusion: Diol-GF, but not Triol-GF, significantly delayed the development of insulitis and T1D in DP-BB rats. The antidiabetogenic action of Diol-GF may result from the decrease in cytokine production and increase in β-cell resistance to cytokine/free radical-induced cytotoxicity.

인삼엑기스의 추출온도와 추출시간, 그리고 열처리가 인삼엑기스의 사포닌과 순수분리 조제된 조사포닌의 양적 변화와 패턴변이에 미치는 영양을 조사하기 위하여 물을 추출용매로 하고 추출 조건별로 인삼엑기스와 조사포닌을 조제하고 조제된 조사포닌을 다시 열처리하여 그 변이여부를 HPLC법으로 측정비교하여 본 결과 순수분리된 조사포닌이 인삼엑기스중의 사포닌 경우보다 열처리에 의한 변이차가 더 컸으며 패턴별로는 ginsenoside-Rd가 비교적 내열성이었고 ginsenoisde-Re, -Rc, $-Rb_1$ 및 $-Rb_2$가 비교적 비내열성인 것으로 나타났다. 인삼엑기스 조제시 사포닌의 패턴과 양적인 변이는 추출온도가 높고 추출시간이 길수록 컸으며 $100^{\circ}C$이상에서 특히 심하였다. 따라서 인삼엑기스중의 사포닌 함량과 ginsenoside별로 안정을 유지하기 위한 추출조건으로는 $80^{\circ}C$이하에서 40시간내외로 처리하는 것이 가장 합리적인 것으로 판단된다.

Background: Culturing wild ginseng adventitious root using plant factory technology provides genetic safety and high productivity. This production technology is drawing attention in the fields of functional raw materials and product development. The cultivation method using elicitors is key technology for controlling biomass and increasing secondary metabolites. Methods and Results: Elicitor treatments using methyl jasmonate, pyruvic acid, squalene, β-sistosterol were performed to amplify total ginsenosides (Rb1, Rc, Rb2, Rb3, and Rd) of cultured wild ginseng adventitious root. Thereafter, fermentation and steaming processes were performed to convert total ginsenosides into minor molecular ginsenosides (Rg3, Rk1, and Rg5). The result indicated that methyl jasmonate minimizes the reduction in fresh weight of cultured wild ginseng adventitious root and maximizes total ginsenosides (sum of Rb1, Rc, Rb2, Rb3, and Rd). Ginsenoside conversion results showed a maximum degree of conversion of 131 mg/g. Conclusions: In this study, we demonstrated that the optimal elicitor treatment method increased the content of total ginsenosides, while the steaming and fermentation processing method increased the content of minor ginsenosides.

This investigation was carried out to study the influence of pH and heat treatment on the ginsenosides in the white ginseng extract. Changes in ginsenosides (Rb1, Rb2, ,Rc, Rd) and free sugar were measured by the peak area variation of HPLC chromatogram during 25 hours heat treatment at the various level of pH. It was found that :(1) The peak areas of Rb1. Rb2, Rc and Rd on the HPLC chromatogram were decreased remarkably below pH 4.0 and more decrease was found as the temperature and heating time increased. (2) Those of glucose and arabinose were increased remarkably. It is considrered that the increase of glucose and the formation of arabinose result from the hydrolysis of ginsenoside( Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd) linked with sugars.

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In this study, we used a bioactivity-guided isolation technique to identify constituents of Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) with antiproliferative activity against human lung adenocarcinoma cells. Methods: Bioactivity-guided fractionation and preparative/semipreparative HPLC purification were used with LC/MS analysis to separate the bioactive constituents. Cell viability and apoptosis in human lung cancer cell lines (A549, H1264, H1299, and Calu-6) after treatment with KRG extract fractions and constituents thereof were assessed using the water-soluble tetrazolium salt (WST-1) assay and terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining, respectively. Caspase activation was assessed by detecting its surrogate marker, cleaved poly adenosine diphosphate (ADP-ribose) polymerase, using an immunoblot assay. The expression and subcellular localization of apoptosis-inducing factor were assessed using immunoblotting and immunofluorescence, respectively. Results and conclusion: Bioactivity-guided fractionation of the KRG extract revealed that its ethyl acetate-soluble fraction exerts significant cytotoxic activity against all human lung cancer cell lines tested by inducing apoptosis. Chemical investigation of the ethyl acetatesoluble fraction led to the isolation of six ginsenosides, including ginsenoside Rb1 (1), ginsenoside Rb2 (2), ginsenoside Rc (3), ginsenoside Rd (4), ginsenoside Rg1 (5), and ginsenoside Rg3 (6). Among the isolated ginsenosides, ginsenoside Rg3 exhibited the most cytotoxic activity against all human lung cancer cell lines examined, with $IC_{50}$ values ranging from $161.1{\mu}M$ to $264.6{\mu}M$. The cytotoxicity of ginsenoside Rg3 was found to be mediated by induction of apoptosis in a caspase-independent manner. These findings provide experimental evidence for a novel biological activity of ginsenoside Rg3 against human lung cancer cells.

본 연구는 수삼의 저장기간 (무저장, 2일, 6일, 8일, 10일) 및 저장온도 $(20^{\circ}C,\;34^{\circ}C,\;-10^{\circ}C)$로 구분하여 제조된 홍삼의 품질 및 이화학적 특성변화를 비교 조사하였다. 수삼의 수분함량은 저장일이 길어질수록 감소하는 경향이었다. 수삼을 10일동안의 단기간 저장온도는 $34^{\circ}C$의 냉장저장이 적합하다고 생각한다. 전질소 함량은 저장일 10일로 갈수록 무저장구에 비해 다소 증가하는 경향이었다. 저장온도별로는 실온, 냉동, 냉장저장 순으로 무저장구보다 전질소 함량이 증가함을 보였다. 각각의 저장구별 페놀성 화합물의 함량은 무저장구에 비하여 저장기간이 길수록 증가하는 경향이었다. 저장 온도별로는 냉장 저장구가 실온, 냉동 저장구에 비하여 다소 페놀성 화합물의 함량이 높았다. 저장조건별 홍삼의 사포닌 Rf 에 대한 8종의 $ginsenoside\;Rb_1,\;Rb_2,\;Rc,\;Rd,\;Re,\;$Rg_3,\;Rg_1,\;Rg_2$의 상대적 함량 (%)비 변화를 분석한 결과, 각각 저장조건에서 Rf 대한 $Rb_1,\;Rg_1$의 상대적 함량비가 저장기간이 늘어날수록 감소하는 경향이었다. 기타 ginsenoside 함량변화는 시료간의 차이에서 나타난 것으로 판단되며 저장조건에 따른 변화 경향은 뚜렷하지 않았다. 관능적 성질에서 각각 저장구별로 홍삼의 품질, 맛과 향을 종합적으로 평가하여 볼 때, $34^{\circ}C$에서 냉장저장 운반하는 것이 홍삼 향미의 안정적 유지에 가장 적합한 것으로 평가되었다.

Induction of effective and increased levels of antibody production may be major points in vaccine development. This is especially the case when the antigenic sources are carbohydrates. Thus, in our Lab various types of formulations such as liposomal and conjugate vaccines have been researched. However, the fastidious formulation process and high costs are a problem. For this reason, there is currently a focus on utilizing immunoadjuvants. In this present study, we tested whether ginsenosides Re (a panaxdiol) and Rg1 (a panaxtriol) from Panax ginseng have immunoadjuvant activity against the cell wall of Candida albicans (CACW). The resulting data showed that Rd and Rg1 caused LPS-treated B lymphocytes to be proliferative. Rd had greater proliferation activity than that of Rg1. In the murine model of antibody production, CACW combined with Rd [CACW/Rd/IFA] or Rg1 [CACW/Rg1/IFA] increased the production of antibodies specific to C. albicans when compared to the antibody production by [CACW/IFA]-induction, which was used as a negative control (P<0.05). In the case of [CFA/Rd/IFA], the antibody production was almost twice as that of the CFA. In addition, formulations containing either had a prolonged antibody inducing activity as compared to the CFA formula. In conclusion, Rd and Rg1 have an immunologic activity, and yet Rd can be a better candidate than Rg1 for a new immunoadjuvant.
