<strong>Research Progress in Pharmacological Activities of Ginsenoside-Rg3</strong>

Abstract

Abstract:Ginseng is a traditional Chinese drug，with a long medicinal history. The main active components of ginseng are the ginsenosides，among which the ginsenoside-Rg3 is a kind of components in ginseng，with higher medicinal value，studying on the pharmacological effects can provide theoretical guidance for further development and utilization of ginsenoside-Rg3. According to domestic and foreign researches reports of ginsenoside-Rg3 in recent years，the pharmacological effects of ginsenoside-Rg3 were summarized and analyzed in this review. The pharmacological studies reported in the literature have indicated that the ginsenoside-Rg3 exhibited various pharmacological activities，such as anti-tumor，reduce the cardiac toxicity and nephrotoxicity of chemotherapy drugs，reverse the multidrug resistance of tumor cells to anticancer drugs，protect the central nervous system and cardiovascular system，anti-fatigue，hypoglycemic effect，repair wound，and other aspects.

Key words:ginsenoside-Rg3,pharmacological activitiy,anti-tumor,central nervous system,cardiovascular system
