Abstract:
Ginseng is a traditional medicine in Asian countries. Ginsenoside has the main active ingredient, exhibit cardiovascular, tumor, and central nervous system activities. In particular, protopanaxatriol-type ginsenosides Rh1, exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and memory improvement activities. Ginsenoside Rh1 is only found in trace amounts in Panax ginseng, Panax pseudoginseng var. notoginseng, and Panax quinquefolius. Biotransformation of rare ginsenosides has become an effective way. In this paper, the research progress of transformation of ginsenoside saponins by biotransformation to produce rare ginsenoside Rh1 is reviewed, which provides a useful reference for the further development and preparation of ginsenoside Rh1.
