  • The effect of orally administered sun ginseng (SG), which is a ginseng processed by steaming, was examined in adenine-induced chronic renal failure rat. SG significantly decreased both blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels, indicating an improvement of renal function. Also, SG significantly increased the urinary excretion of both urea and creatinine. Furthermore it lowered the blood pressure, and inhibited adenine-induced kidney hypertrophy and edema. Based on these findings, SG may ameliorate chronic renal failures.

  • Four new acetylated ginsenosides were isolated from the processed ginseng (SG, sun ginseng). Their structures were determined to be $3{\beta},{\;}12{\beta}-dihydroxydammar-20(22),24-diene-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl(1{\rightarrow}2)-{\beta}-D-6"-O-acetylglucopyranoside;{\;}3{\beta},12{\beta}-dihydroxydammar-20(21),{\;}24-diene-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl(1{\rightarrow}2)-{\beta}-D-6"-O-acetylglucopyranoside;{\;}3{\beta},{\;}6{\alpha},12{\beta}-trihydroxydammar-20(22),24-diene-6-O-{\beta}-D-6'-O-acetylglucopyranoside{\;}and{\;}3{\beta},6{\alpha},12{\beta}-trihydroxydammar-20(21),24-diene-6-O-{\beta}-D-6'-O-acetylglucopyranoside$ based on spectroscopic evidences. The compounds were named ginsenoside $Rs_4,{\;}Rs_5,{\;}RS_6{\;}and{\;}Rs_7$, respectively.pectively.
