| | Ginsenoside CK Usage And Synthesis |
| Properties | Ginsenoside CK is a white crystalline powder, soluble in methanol, ethanol, DMSO and other organic solvents, derived from ginseng rhizome, Gynostemma pentaphyllum. | | Pharmacological action | Ginsenoside CK is the main metabolite of protopanaxadiol saponins in human intestinal tract. Studies have shown that the pharmacological activities of ginsenosides are mainly mediated through its metabolic component CK, and CK has a variety of pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-allergic, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, and cardiovascular protection. | | Description | Ginsenoside compound K (C-K) is a metabolite of the protopanaxadiol-type saponins of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, has long been used to treat against the development of cancer, inflammation, allergies, and diabetes; C-K acts as a unique HUVEC migration inhibitor by regulating MMP expression, as well as the activity of SPHK1 and its related sphingolipid metabolites. C-K exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by reducing iNOS and COX-2, C-K exhibits an inhibition against the activity of CYP2C9 and CYP2A6 in human liver microsomes with IC50s of 32.0±3.6 μM and 63.6±4.2 μM, respectively. C-K promotes Aβ clearance by enhancing autophagy via the mTOR signaling pathway in primary astrocytes. | | Uses | Ginsenoside C-K is reported to exhibit anti-wrinkle effects. Also, it potentiates tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apotosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced apotosis in HCT116 colon cancer. | | Definition | ChEBI: Ginsenoside C-K is a ginsenoside found in Panax species that is dammarane which is substituted by hydroxy groups at the 3beta, 12beta and 20 pro-S positions, in which the hydroxy group at position 20 has been converted to the corresponding beta-D-glucopyranoside, and in which a double bond has been introduced at the 24-25 position. It has a role as a plant metabolite, an antineoplastic agent, a hepatoprotective agent, an anti-allergic agent and an anti-inflammatory agent. It is a beta-D-glucoside, a 12beta-hydroxy steroid, a ginsenoside, a tetracyclic triterpenoid, a 3beta-hydroxy steroid and a 3beta-hydroxy-4,4-dimethylsteroid. It derives from a hydride of a dammarane. | | General Description | This substance is a primary reference substance with assigned absolute purity (considering chromatographic purity, water, residual solvents, inorganic impurities). The exact value can be found on the certificate. |
