Malonyl-Ginsenoside Rb_1 in Cell Suspension Culture of Panaxjaponicus var. repens

摘要

The year of 2012 is the fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of the main biologically active compounds of ginseng (genus Panax L.)-ginsenosides, triterpene glycosides of the dammarane series. In the past half-century, a considerable progress in studying the structural diversity of these compounds in intact plants was made. For example, in a relatively short period (January 2000-September 2010), 123 individual ginsenosides were isolated from different ginseng species and characterized. In the last six months (October 2010- March 2011), another 12 new structures were discovered [1].
