Seven compounds were isolated from the leaves of Panax japonicus var. major by chromatographic methods including silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, ODS and semi-preparative HPLC. Their structures were elucidated by their physical and chemical properties and spectral data analysis as 5, 7-dihydroxy-8-methoxyl flavone (1), ginsenoside Rs2 (2), quinquenoside R1 (3), ginsenoside Rs1 (4), notoginsenoside Fe (5), ginsenoside Rd2 (6) and gypenosiden IX (7). Among them, compound 1 was obtained from the Panax genus for the first time, and compounds 2-7 were isolated from this plant for the first time.

Saponins are responsible for the clinical effects of leaves, which are traditionally produced as the single herb resource of 'Qiye Shenan Pian' in Chinese patent medicine. In this study, the metabolic characteristics of PNLSs were explored in rat feces. PNLSs as well as their metabolites were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS).

β-Glucosidase plays a pivotal role in transforming ginsenosides into specific minor ginsenosides. In this study, total ginsenosides from Panax notoginseng leaves were used as substrates to stimulate the growth of Aspergillus niger NG1306. Transcriptome analysis identified a β-glucosidase gene, Anglu04478 (1455 bp, 484 amino acids, 54.

State Key Laboratory of Quality Research in Chinese Medicine, Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences, University of Macau, Taipa, Macao 999078, P.R. China.

Rare dehydrated ginsenosides barely exist in natural ginseng plants. Herein, the confined microwave technique was utilized to transform the main ginsenosides of leaves (PNL) into dehydrated ginsenosides. The main microwave-treated products of dried PNL are dehydrated ginsenoside Rk1, Rg5, notoginsenoside SFt3, and SFt4.

Article Synopsis
  • Ginseng contains rare compounds called ginsenosides, specifically 25-OH-PPT (T19), known for beneficial effects like lowering blood sugar and reducing inflammation.
  • The research focused on optimizing the process to extract T19 from ginseng stems and leaves, utilizing different acids and hydrolysis conditions to maximize yield safely.
  • Results showed that hydrochloric acid increased T19 content significantly, while citric acid was safer; additionally, T19 demonstrated protective effects on heart cells by reducing oxidative stress and impacting fibrosis markers.

A novel screening platform based on an FeO@C@PDA-Ni@COX-2 ligand fishing combination with high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was first designed, synthesized, and employed to screen and identify COX-2 inhibitors from leaves. The obtained magnetic nanoparticles exhibit outstanding preconcentration ability that allows for controlling the enzyme orientation to avoid enzyme active site blocking, conformational changes, or denaturing during immobilization. The as-prepared FeO@C@PDA-Ni@COX-2 composite was carefully characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), Xray powder diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and Zeta potential analysis.
