Abstract
When Ginseng is taken orally as a crude drugs, the metabolites of Ginseng saponin(ginsenoside) is absorbed from the intestines. The clinical basis of Ginseng treatment may be partly associated with differences in intestinal microflora of hosts. Protopanaxadiol-type ginsenosides such as Rb1, Rb2, and Rc are metabolized by intestinal bacteria after oral administration to their final derivative 20-O-β-D-flucopyranosyl-20-(S)-protopanaxadiol (compound K, M1, IH901). The in vivo anti-metastatic effect of the ginsenosides was primarily based on their metabolite compound K.
It has been assumed that the glycosides cannot be absorbed from the small intestine and cleavage of the β-glycoside linkage will not occur until the compounds reach the microflora in the large intestine. Biological activity depends on the presence or absence of the glycoside residue. The position and nature of the sugar residue may increase the uptake of the compound in the small intestine. The aglycone is likely to have a greater biological effect than the glycoside.
Therefore, Ginseng was fermented by Aspergillus oryzae to get metabolites with increased biological activity, higher digestiveness, and modified structure. Then new biotransformed compounds (WG2-2-1, WG2-2-2) were detected and isolated through several chromatographic techniques. And WG2-2-2 was confirmed to biologically active compound K by TLC, HPLC, and mass spectrum. Also biological activity of biotransformed WG2-2-1 and WG2-2-2 were investigated on antibacterial, cytotoxic, and DPPH radical scavenging assay. WG2-2-2 was more active on aboved biological assays. It suggests that WG2-2-1 is intermediate metabolite transforming to final WG2-2-2 (compound K). Also biotransformation of ginseng saponin or ginseng products by pectinex was performed. Then compounds (PG-1, PG-2, PG-3) were biotranformed from ginseng. And those compounds were isolated by several chromatographic techniques. Finally PG-3 was identified as compound K, which was transformed by Aspergillus oryzae in this research.
Also its biological activity was observed to be active on DPPH free radical scavenging and proliferation of tumor cells. But minor biotransformed metabolites were under the investigation to obtain a lot of compounds by scale-up fermentation and enzyme reaction to identify those of structure and observe those of biological activity.
