Ginsenoside Rc (GRc) is a potential pharmacologically active ingredient isolated from ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, Araliaceae). A simple, rapid and sensitive method for determination of GRc in rat plasma was developed based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The

A method has been devised for the chromatographic resolution of glucosidic compounds, ginseng saponins, on polyethersulphone (PES) membrane. The method results in good resolution and quantitative immunoassay for ginsenoside Rb1 (G-Rb1), G-Rc, and G-Rd in crude extracts of various ginsengs.

We have found that ginsenoside Rc and Re induce c-fos in MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells at both the mRNA and protein levels. However, neither ginsenoside activated the expression of reporter gene under the control of AP-1/TPA response elements. We

A method based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and negative ion electrospray mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has been used to determine ginsenosides Rb1, Rc, and Re in six different samples of ginseng. These included a liquid extract, capsules, tea bags, and

Ginsenosides Rb2, Rc and Rg1 suppressed corticotropin-induced, dibutyryl cyclic AMP-induced and epinephrine-induced lipolysis with the relative potencies Rb2 greater than Rc greater than Rg1. The inhibition of corticotropin-induced lipolysis by ginsenoside Rg1 could not be overcome by increasing the dose
