Abstract

Chemical studies of nitrogen compounds of Panax ginseng seem relatively rare, Probably due to the isolation difficulties, subsequently the investigations of biological activities are little. The experimental conditions were established for highly complete extraction of peptides (basic, acidic and neutral) from Panax ginseng. This task was achieved by applying the follow isolation procedure: 1 , the sequential extraction with water, 0.1% TFA in 20% acetonitril and buffer pH 6.5 (water-pyridine-acetic acid 100:3:900) : 2, fractionation by ultrafiltration : 3, n-butanol extraction 4, cation- and anion-exchange chromatography : 5, chromato-electrophoresis. The comparison of red ginseng (xylem Sl pith part) and red ginseng inside white (xylem Sc pith part) was also provided. To analyze the peptide mixture the chromato-electrophoresis method of separation was applied. Optimal conditions for peptides mapping of sample were explored. Our experiments revealed the quantitative difference of peptide between xylem & pith and phloem & cortex part. We have also found the qualitative difference in the composition of polypeptides between normal red ginseng (xylem Sc pith part) and red ginseng inside-white (xylem St pith part)
