Ginsenoside Rb3 is extracted from steamed Panax notoginseng. Ginsenoside Rb3 exhibits inhibitory effect on TNFα-induced NF-κB transcriptional activity with an IC₅₀ of 8.2 μM in 293T cell lines. Ginsenoside Rb3 also inhibits the induction of COX-2 and iNOS mRNA.

Ginsenoside Rb3 (0.1-10 μM) is tested for inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF)-induced nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) luciferase reporter activity using a human kidney 293T cell-based assay. Ginsenoside Rb3 shows the significant activity with an IC₅₀ of 8.2 μM. Ginsenoside Rb3 also inhibits the induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) messenger Ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in a dose-dependent manner after HepG2 cells have been treated with TNF-α (10 ng/mL)^[1]. Ginsenoside Rb3 (0.1-10 μM) significantly increases cell viability and inhibits lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release in a dose-dependent manner. PC12 cell viability as determined by MTT reduction is also markedly decreased after the cell is exposed to oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD)/OGD-Rep. But, when the cells are pretreated with Ginsenoside Rb3 (0.1, 1, and 10 μM), OGD/OGD-Rep induced cell toxicity is significantly attenuated, which is concentration-dependently attenuated by Ginsenoside Rb3 treatment. The viabilities are raised to 52.8%±5.6%, 64.6%±5.7%, and 76.4%±8.8%, respectively, compared with the control group^[2].

Ginsenosides Rb3 is a major compound isolated from Gynostemma pentaphyllum that holistically improves gut microenvironment and induces anti-polyposis in Apc^Min/+ mice. Six-weeks-old mice are subjected to Rb3 treatment, before the appearance of the intestinal polyps. All the mice are monitored for food intake, water consumption, and weight changes. Throughout the experiment, no Rb3/Rd-associated weight loss in mice is observed. In addition, none of the treated mice show variations in food and water consumption. Whereas, the number and size of the polyps are effectively reduced by Rb3 treatments^[3].

HepG2 cells are seeded at a concentration of 1×10⁵ cells/mL (1.5 mL) in a 12-well plate and grown for 24 h. All cells are then transfected with Pnf-κB-luc plasmid (0.5 μg/well). Transfection are performed by the lipofectamine LTX. After 23 h of transfection, medium is changed to assay medium. After 24 h of transfection, cells are treated with test compounds (e.g., Ginsenoside Rb3; 0.1, 1 and 10 uM) for another 24 hours. After 25 h of transfection, cells are treated with 10 ng/mL of TNF-α for another 23 hours. The luciferase activity of cell lysates is assayed with 100 μL of by luciferase assay kit using an LB 953 Autolumat. Transfections are performed in triplicate, and activation is normalized against α-galactosidase activity^[1].

NGF-differentiated PC12 cells are plated at a density of 1.0×10⁵ cells/mL 2 days before each experiment. To initiate OGD, the cell culture medium is removed and replaced with the glucose-free DMEM, then the cells are incubated at 37°C in an oxygen-free chamber (95% N₂ and 5% CO₂) for 4 h (OGD), and the change in oxygen levels of the culture medium are monitored during incubation in oxygen-free chamber. Following OGD, glucose is added to normal levels (final concentration: 4.5 mg/mL) and cells are incubated under normal growth conditions (95% air and 5% CO₂) for additional 24 h as OGD-reperfusion (OGD-Rep). Ginsenoside Rb3 (0.1, 1, 10 μM) is added to the culture 24 h before OGD treatment and throughout the OGD reperfusion. The control culture is always maintained in normal DMEM and put in the incubator under normal conditions^[2].

Ginsenoside Rb1, a main constituent of the root of Panax ginseng, inhibits Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity with an IC₅₀ of 6.3±1.0 μM. Ginsenoside also inhibits IRAK-1 activation and phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 .

Rat brain microsomal Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity is inhibited significantly and rapidly by Ginsenoside Rb1. The IC₅₀ of Ginsenoside Rb1 for Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase is 6.3±1.0 μM. The inhibition is enhanced with increasing the concentration of Ginsenoside Rb1 or decreasing that of Na⁺ and K⁺. Kinetic analysis reveals that Ginsenoside is an uncompetitive inhibitor with respect to ATP^[1]. Ginsenoside Rb1 significantly inhibits the activation of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-1 (IRAK-1), IKK-β, NF-κB, and MAP kinases (ERK, JNK, and p-38); however, interaction between LPS and Toll-like receptor-4, IRAK-4 activation and IRAK-2 activation are unaffected^[2]. Ginsenoside Rb1 is an ingredient of a Chinese medicine Panax ginseng. Ginsenoside Rb1 is a major bioactive compound in the regulating pregnane X receptor (PXR)/NF-κB signaling. Ginsenoside Rb1 is the compound with potent anti-inflammatory activity in ginseng saponin extract (GSE). The concentration for Ginsenoside Rb1 (10 μM) is optimized from a preliminary study to ensure sufficient anti-inflammatory activity and without apparent cytotoxicity. Ginsenoside Rb1 significantly reduces TNF-α-induced upregulation of IL-1β and iNOS mRNA levels, and restores the mRNA levels of PXR and CYP3A4 in LS174T cells. TNF-α causes a significant reduction in PXR protein levels and increase in the ratio of phosphorylated to total NF-κB p65, both of which are significantly abrogated by Ginsenoside Rb1^[3].

Ginsenoside Rb1 at the both doses of 30 mg/kg and 60 mg/kg significantly attenuates the histological lung injury. Ginsenoside Rb1 at the dose of 30 mg/kg and 60 mg/kg both significantly attenuates the histological intestine injury^[4]. Ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1), an ingredient of a Chinese medicine Panax ginseng, has beneficial effects on mesentery microvascular hyperpermeability induced by Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the underlying mechanisms. In some rats, Ginsenoside Rb1 (5 mg/kg per hour) is administrated through the left jugular vein 30 min after LPS infusion. Ginsenoside Rb1 decreases caveolae number in endothelial cells of microvessels. Ginsenoside Rb1 ameliorates microvascular hyperpermeability after the onset of endotoxemia and improves intestinal edema through inhibiting caveolae formation and junction disruption, which is correlated to suppression of NF-κB and Src activation^[5].

Mice^[4]
Male C57BL/6 mice (9-12 weeks old; 17-22 g) are randomly allocated into eight groups (n=8 in each group): (1) Sham surgical preparation including isolation of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) without occlusion is performed (Sham); (2) mice are subjected to II/R without treatment (II/R); (3) mice are subjected to II/R with treatment of normal saline 10 minutes before reperfusion (II/R+NS); (4), (5) mice are treated with 30 mg/kg (II/R+Rb1-30) or 60 mg/kg (II/R+Rb1-60) Ginsenoside Rb1, in which surgery is performed as in the II/R group with administration of the Ginsenoside Rb1 intraperitoneally 10 minutes before reperfusion; (6) mice are subjected to Sham surgery and treated with ATRA (ATRA+Sham), which is the inhibitor of Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway; (7) mice are subjected to II/R and treated with ATRA (ATRA+II/R); (8) mice are subjected to II/R and treated with ATRA and 60 mg/kg Ginsenoside Rb1 as group 5 (ATRA+II/R+Rb1-60). During the last two weeks before the operation, the mice in the group 6, 7, 8 receive ATRA i.p. daily at 10 mg/kg and fed on a vitamin A-deficient diet, and the mice in the other groups receive the equivalent volume of corn oil and fed on a control normal diet.
Rats^[5]
Male Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g are used. The rats are randomly divided into four groups, 26 animals in each. After being anesthetized with urethane (2 g/kg body wt im), the left femoral vein and left jugular vein of the rat are cannulated. In the LPS group, LPS solution in saline is infused (5 mg/kg per hour) for 90 min via the left femoral vein. The vehicle, instead of LPS solution, is administrated in Sham and Ginsenoside Rb1 alone (Rb1, 5 mg/kg) groups. In the Rb1 posttreatment (LPS+Rb1) group, Ginsenoside Rb1 solution is infused continuously through the left jugular vein 30 min after LPS administration at the dose of 5 mg/kg. Ginsenoside Rb1 solution and the same volume of saline are infused in Ginsenoside Rb1 and Sham groups, respectively, without subsequent LPS administration. In a separate set of experiments, the rats are anesthetized with 2% penobarbital sodium (60 mg/kg body wt ip), and saline, LPS, and Ginsenoside Rb1. After recovery from anesthesia, the animals are allowed access to water and rodent chow, and survival rate is recorded over time until 4 days after LPS stimulation.
