Description
Curator's Comment: The description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26420067 | https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/record/NCT02395263 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25453798

Protopanaxadiol (PPD, Yuxintine) is an organic compound characterizing a group of ginsenosides. It is a dammarane-type tetracyclic terpene sapogenin found in ginseng (Panax ginseng) and in notoginseng (Panax pseudoginseng). Protopanaxadiol has a wide range of pharmacologic activities, including antiestrogen, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, vasodilating, cardioprotection, and antidepressant effects. The antidepressant effect of oral Protopanaxadiol had been confirmed by several different animal models, such as forced swimming test tail suspension test, and rat olfactory bulbectomy depression models. Protopanaxadiol was found to have much fewer adverse drug reactions than currently-used first-line antidepressants. It is almostdevoid of sedation, sexual dysfunction, weight gain, cardiovascular complications, and anticholinergic effects. Protopanaxadiol was in phase II clinical trials as a novel antidepressant in China.

Sample Use Guides

200, 300 or 400mg oral, once a day, 6 weeks
Route of Administration: Oral
MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were used for activity evaluation. Cell viability was measured using MTT-based colorimetric assay. The cells were seeded in 96-well culture plates at 10^4 cells per well and allowed to adhere for 2 h. Thereafter, the Protopanaxadiol and/or radical donor, 1 mM AAPH, were added to culture medium, and the plates were incubated under routine conditions for 24 h. Fifty microliters of MTT (1 mg/mL) solution was added to each well. After incubation for 4 h at 37 C, the medium containing MTT was removed. The incorporated formazan crystals in the viable cells were solubilized with 100 mkL of dimethylsulfoxide. An absorbance at 540 nm of each well was then read using a SPECTRAmax 340PC
