Notes: Ginsenoside Rh2 is a steroid glycoside found in plants of the genus Panax that has diverse biological activities.{40327,40328,40329,40330,40331} It inhibits release of β-hexosaminidase from RBL-2H3 cells (IC50 = 100 μM) and inhibits the IgE-dependent passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction in mice at a dose of 25 mg/kg.{40327} It inhibits growth of HRA ovarian and BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner.{40329,40330} In vivo, ginsenoside Rh2 decreases immobility time in the forced swim test in a mouse model of colorectal carcinoma.{40331} Ginsenoside Rh2 also reduces infarct volume in a rat model of ischemia-reperfusion-induced brain injury.{40328}
