Objective: To produce new derivatives of 20(S)-protopanaxatriol by fungal biotransformation.
Result: Biotransformation of 20(S)-protopanaxatriol (1) by Mucor racemosus AS 3.205 afforded six products. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses. M. racemosus could selectively catalyze dehydrogenation at C-12 and further hydroxylation at C-7, C-11, and C-15, as well as rearrangement of double bond at C-26. Two of these new compounds exhibited potent inhibitory activity against SH-SY5Y and HepG2 cell lines.
Conclusion: Biotransformation by M. racemosus AS 3.205 was an effective approach to produce new derivatives of 20(S)-protopanaxatriol.

20-Protopanaxatriol improves cognitive function of Alzheimer's disease by promoting endogenous neurogenesis.

Neurogenesis in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is impaired, and thus promoting neurogenesis is a promising strategy for treating AD-related cognition impairment. Here, we found that 20-protopanaxatriol (PPT) can alleviate cognitive deficits in an AlCl-induced AD zebrafish model in Y and T maze tests and increase the HUC expression of the telencephalon. PPT promotes neural stem cell (NSC) line differentiation into neurons under AD condition.

Ginseng has been used as a functional food and tonic for enhancing immune power. Here, the potential protective effect of 20-protopanaxatriol (M4), the metabolite of protopanaxatriol, against hepatic fibrosis is investigated, which could provide nutritional interventions for disease treatment. M4 could inhibit extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and reduce the levels of proinflammatory cytokines such as caspase 1, interleukin 1 β (IL-1β), interleukin 1 receptor type 1 (IL1R1), and interleukin 6 (IL-6).

20 (S)-protopanaxadiol (PPD) possesses a variety of biological activities, including antioxidant, antifatigue and anti-inflammatory properties. This study was aimed to investigate the antidepressant-like effects of PPD and potential mechanisms in rats exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model. Results showed that chronic treatment with PPD for 14 days ameliorated depressive-like behaviour, as indicated by the increase in sucrose preference in the sucrose preference test and decrease in immobility in the forced swim test and tail suspension test.

Extracellular adenine nucleotides and nucleosides, such as adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine, are among least investigated signaling factors that participate in 17β-estradiol (E2)-mediated synaptic rearrangements in rodent hippocampus. Their levels in the extrasynaptic space are tightly controlled by ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases1-3 (NTPDase1-3)/ecto-5'-nucleotidase (eN) enzyme chain. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to get closer insight in the E2-induced decrease in NTPDase and eN activity in the hippocampal synaptic compartment of male rats and to identify estradiol receptors (ERs i.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with sensitive epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are successfully treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs); however, resistance to treatment inevitably occurs. Given lipid metabolic reprogramming is widely known as a hallmark of cancer and intimately linked with EGFR-stimulated cancer growth. Activation of EGFR signal pathway increased monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and lipid metabolism key enzyme Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1 (SCD1) expression.
