Description of 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3

20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 is a rare ginsenoside extracted from ginseng (Na+: IC50 = 32.2±4.5μM; hKv1.4: IC50 = 32.6±2.2μM) [1-2]. 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 inhibits Aβ aggregation, NF-κB activity, and COX-2 expression, exerting neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects [3]. 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 is often used in adjuvant anticancer therapy [4].

In human umbilical vein endothelial cells, 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 (1, 5, 10μg/mL; 36h) protects endothelial cells from serum-deprived apoptosis [5]. In HIT-T15 cells, 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 (2, 4, 8, 16μM; 1h) at the concentration range between 2 and 8μM augmented a glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in a concentration dependent manner [6]. In HT29 cells, 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 (25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 600μM; 24h, 48h) reduced proliferation in a dose-dependent manner [7].

In institute of cancer research mice, 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 (12.5, 25mg/kg; po; single oral dose) reduces blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion [6]. In H22-bearing mice model, the growth of H22 transplanted tumors was inhibited when treated with 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 (3mg/kg; ip;10d), and the cellular immunity of H22-bearing mice was remarkably enhanced after 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 treatment [8].

Protocol of 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)

Preparation Method

HUVECs (1×105 cells/well) were plated onto six well plates in 1ml M199 containing 20% fetal bovine serum. Next day, the cells were switched to serum-free M199 with or without 20% fetal bovine serum and 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3. After 36h, cell viability was assessed by trypan blue exclusion. Counts were performed on triplicate wells.

Reaction Conditions

1, 5, 10μg/mL; 36h

Applications

20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 protects endothelial cells from serum-deprived apoptosis.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Institute of cancer research (ICR) mice

Preparation Method

Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

The ICR mice were fasted for 12h prior to the experiment, and 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 (12.5, 25mg/kg) was administered orally 30min prior to glucose challenge. Glucose (1.5g/kg) was orally administered at 0min, and the blood was withdrawn from the orbital venous plexus at 0, 30, 60 and 120min after glucose administration. Plasma glucose and insulin levels were determined by the glucose oxidase method and mouse insulin ELISA kit, respectively.

Dosage form

12.5, 25mg/kg; po; single oral dose

Applications

20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 reduces blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion.
