Notoginsenoside R1

Notoginsenoside R1, the main bioactive component in panaxnotoginseng, is reported to have some neuronal protective, antihypertensive effects. IC50 value:Target:In vitro:In vivo: Notoginsenoside R1 significantly reduce blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats and induce nitric oxide generation through increasing the phosphorylation of iNOS. Notoginsenoside R1 reduces the caudal blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats through induction of iNOS regulated by long non-codin
Notoginsenoside R1 is a ginsenoside found in Panax notoginseng that is dammarane which is substituted by hydroxy groups at the 3beta, 6alpha, 12beta and 20 pro-S positions, in which the hydroxy groups at positions 6 and 20 have been converted to the corresponding beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-glucopyranoside and beta-D-glucopyranoside respectively, and in which a double bond has been introduced at the 24-25 position. It has a role as a plant metabolite, an antioxidant, a neuroprotective agent, an apoptosis inducer and a phytoestrogen. It is a beta-D-glucoside, a 12beta-hydroxy steroid, a 3beta-hydroxy steroid, a disaccharide derivative, a ginsenoside, a tetracyclic triterpenoid and a 3beta-hydroxy-4,4-dimethylsteroid. It derives from a hydride of a dammarane.
