Panaxatriol, a triterpene bearing a steroid-like structure similar to cardiac glycosides, was presumed to share the same bioactivity with cardiac glycosides, and may be a potential Na, K-ATPase inhibitor. In this paper, a series of panaxatriol derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for Na, K-ATPase inhibitory activities. The results of biological tests showed that more than half of the synthesized derivatives presented increased inhibitory activities compared with panaxatriol. Of these compounds, 13a with a 3, 4-seco skeleton showed the most potent inhibitory activity, which was equal to that of the standard drug digoxin. To understand the binding mode of the most active compound, molecular docking study of 13a with Na, K-ATPase was conducted. Therefore, 13a may serve as a new lead compound for the development of novel Na, K-ATPase inhibitors.

Background: Aberrant activation of autophagy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has led researchers to investigate potential therapeutic strategies targeting this process. The regulation of autophagy is significantly influenced by METTL3. Our previous research has shown that the Panax ginseng-derived compound, 20(R)-panaxatriol (PT), has potential as an anti-tumor agent.

This work proposed a novel strategy based on quadruplex stable isotope derivatization for sensitive, accurate, speedy and green determination of panaxadiol (PD) and panaxatriol (PT). This strategy integrated with ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, microwave-assisted derivatization, and magnetic graphene oxide dispersive solid phase extraction as efficient sample pretreatment techniques, coupling with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry detection in multiple reaction monitoring mode for the analytical purpose of high-throughput, sensitivity, selectivity, green and accuracy. Quadruplex mass spectrometry sensitizing derivatization reagents, 3-N-(D-/D-methyl-, and D-/D-ethyl-)-2'-carboxyl chloride rhodamine 6 G, were designed, synthesized and applied for the high-throughput derivatization of hydroxyl‑containing PD and PT for the first time.

Panaxatriol (PT) is a natural product derived from ginseng that possesses cardioprotective effects in isolated rat hearts. To develop more potent therapeutic agents against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury from natural products, a novel series of heterocycle ring-fused panaxatriol derivatives were designed and synthesized. In vitro results showed that approximately half of them exhibited increased cytoprotective activity compared with PT in a cardiomyocyte model of oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) injury.
