Notes: Ginsenosides are pharmacologically active natural constituents of ginseng and other plants of the genus Panax.{24877} Structurally, they are steroid glycosides derived from the triterpene squalene.{24877} Ginsenoside Rd is a protopanaxadiol which is more abundant in some Panax species (e.g., P. quinquefolium) than others.{24880} This ginsenoside has diverse in vitro and in vivo effects, including cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory actions.{25019,25020,25018} Notably, ginsenoside Rd is converted to other ginsenosides in response to steaming or heating plant materials, leading to loss of these activities.{24880}
