General description

Ginsenoside Compound K is a tetracyclic dammarane-type triterpenoid saponin found in the roots of Panax ginseng. It is a major constituent in ginseng, which has been traditionally used to increase resistance to stress and aging.

Application


  • Combination of Electrochemistry and Mass Spectrometry to Study Nitric Oxide Metabolism and Its Modulation by Compound K in Breast Cancer Cells.: This research explores the interaction of Ginsenoside Compound K with nitric oxide metabolism in breast cancer cells, employing a combination of electrochemical techniques and mass spectrometry to elucidate the metabolic pathways and potential therapeutic effects of Compound K (Zhao et al., 2022).

  • Metabolic analysis of Panax notoginseng saponins with gut microbiota-mediated biotransformation by HPLC-DAD-Q-TOF-MS/MS.: This article investigates the gut microbiota-mediated biotransformation of Panax notoginseng saponins, including Compound K, detailing the complex interactions and metabolic profiles in a biological system, which could inform their therapeutic use and bioavailability (Chen et al., 2018).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ginsenoside compound K has many pharmacological properties that include anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, anti-allergic, and anti-carcinogenic effects. It also displays neuroprotective properties, in mice it has shown recovery from synaptic loss and memory impairment. Ginsenoside K can inhibit several gene expressions in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), resulting in the inhibition of migration and angiogenesis of endothelial cells.
