General description

Ginsenoside Compound K is a tetracyclic dammarane-type triterpenoid saponin found in the roots of Panax ginseng. It is a major constituent in ginseng, which has been traditionally used to increase resistance to stress and aging.

Application


  • Combination of Electrochemistry and Mass Spectrometry to Study Nitric Oxide Metabolism and Its Modulation by Compound K in Breast Cancer Cells.: This research explores the interaction of Ginsenoside Compound K with nitric oxide metabolism in breast cancer cells, employing a combination of electrochemical techniques and mass spectrometry to elucidate the metabolic pathways and potential therapeutic effects of Compound K (Zhao et al., 2022).

  • Metabolic analysis of Panax notoginseng saponins with gut microbiota-mediated biotransformation by HPLC-DAD-Q-TOF-MS/MS.: This article investigates the gut microbiota-mediated biotransformation of Panax notoginseng saponins, including Compound K, detailing the complex interactions and metabolic profiles in a biological system, which could inform their therapeutic use and bioavailability (Chen et al., 2018).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ginsenoside compound K has many pharmacological properties that include anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, anti-allergic, and anti-carcinogenic effects. It also displays neuroprotective properties, in mice it has shown recovery from synaptic loss and memory impairment. Ginsenoside K can inhibit several gene expressions in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), resulting in the inhibition of migration and angiogenesis of endothelial cells.

As an intestinal bacterial metabolite of ginseng protopanaxadiol saponins, ginsenoside compound K (20-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-20(S)-protopanaxadiol, CK) is a major deglycosylated metabolite form of ginsenosides which is absorbed into the systemic circulation. And it has demonstrated such diverse intriguing biological properties as anticarcinogenic

Conflicting data exist on the effect of ginsenosides on transactivation of human glucocorticoid receptor α (herein referred to as glucocorticoid receptor), and relatively little is known regarding the effect of these chemicals on transrepression of this receptor. We investigated the

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
