Background: Ginsenosides are the major effective ingredients responsible for the pharmacological effects of ginseng. Malonyl ginsenosides are natural ginsenosides that contain a malonyl group attached to a glucose unit of the corresponding neutral ginsenosides.
Methods: Medium-pressure liquid chromatography and semipreparative high-performance liquid chromatography were used to isolate purified compounds and their structures determined by extensive one-dimensional- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments.
Results: A new saponin, namely malonyl-ginsenoside Re, was isolated from the fresh flower buds of Panax ginseng, along with malonyl-ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd. Some assignments for previously published (1)H- and (13)C-NMR spectra were found to be inaccurate.
Conclusion: This study reports the complete NMR assignment of malonyl-ginsenoside Re, Rb1, Rb2, Rc, and Rd for the first time.

Article Synopsis
- A study measured 57 types of ginsenosides in American ginseng roots from a single population in Jilin, revealing significant variations in their content and composition.
- The most common ginsenosides found were either Rg or Re, and the population was categorized into two chemotypes based on their relative amounts.
- The research also indicated stable levels of protopanaxadiol-type ginsenosides and identified key enzymes and regulatory sites involved in the biosynthesis of different ginsenoside types.

Medicinal plant-derived vesicle-like nanoparticles can carry chemical components and exert intercellular activity due to the encapsulation of nanostructures. American ginseng is well known as a traditional herb and is commonly used in clinical decoctions. However, the nano-characteristics and chemical composition of American-ginseng-derived vesicle-like nanoparticles (AGVNs) in decoctions are unclear.
