Abstract

This paper is concerned with the studies on the effective components of anti-oxidant activity, with a view to demonstrate the anti-aging activity of Korean ginseng. Feeding the extract of Korean ginseng or its effective component to mice inhibited strongly the induction of lipid peroxidation produced by ethanol intoxication. From the extract of Korean red ginseng, one effective component Compound A, mp.143, $C_6H_6O_3$ was isolated by chromatographic purification and its chemical structure was determined as 2-meth-y1-3-hydroxy-${\gamma}-pyrone(maltol).$
