Background:

Ginsenoside Re (Ginsenoside B2) is an extract from Panax notoginseng. Ginsenoside Re decreases the β-amyloid protein (Aβ). Ginsenoside Re plays a role in antiinflammation through inhibition of JNK and NF-κB.

Ginsenoside Re is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, which decreases the β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) mRNA and protein levels and inhibits BACE1 activity in the N2a/APP695 cells. Ginsenoside Re also significantly increases the PPARγ protein and mRNA levels.To prevent Ginsenoside Re from having a cytotoxic effect on the N2a/APP695 cells, the cell viability is first determined by the MTT assay. The N2a/WT and N2a/APP695 cells are treated with increasing concentrations of Ginsenoside Re (0-200 μM) for 24 h. Ginsenoside Re concentrations under 100 μM do not affect the viability of the N2a/WT and N2a/APP695 cells, whereas the 150 μM Ginsenoside Re concentration markedly decreases the survival rate of the N2a/WT and N2a/APP695 cells. Incubation with Ginsenoside Re at a 200 μM concentration for 24 h reduces the viability of the N2a/WT and N2a/APP695 cells by 15.58% and 26.82%, respectively. These data indicate that Ginsenoside Re treatment within the range of 0-100 μM for 24 h is safe for the N2a/WT and N2a/APP695 cells (P>0.05)[1].

Ginsenoside Re reduces insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and high-fat diet (HFD) rats through inhibition of JNK and NF-κB activation[2]. Intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at a dose of 20 mg/kg is lethal to mice, and 70% to 80% of the mice die within 60 h. However, pretreatment of the mice with Rg1 or Ginsenoside Re increases their survival rates in a dose-dependent manner. With the doses of Rg1 or Ginsenoside Re increase from 2.5 to 5 mg/kg, the survival rate is elevated from 60% to 90% (Rg1) or from 30% to 40% (Ginsenoside Re). All the mice administered Rg1 at a minimal dose of 10 mg/kg are protected from death compared to 80% survival of mice treated with an equal dose of Ginsenoside Re. To protect all the mice, 20 mg/kg Ginsenoside Re is needed. To investigate the anti-inflammatory potential of Rg1 and Ginsenoside Re, 1 mg/kg Rg1 or Ginsenoside Re is injected into rats and then challenged the animals with LPS. The injection procedure itself causes a transient stress-induced increase in body temperature of
