The effect of petroleum ether soluble fraction (PESF) and panaxydol extracted from red ginseng on serum cholesterol levels was examined in rats and mice fed on a high cholesterol diet. When 2% cholesterol diet containing PESF (800mg/kg diet) or panaxydol (100mg/kg diet) was fed to mice for two weeks, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol in the serum were significantly decreased in PESF and panaxydol treated group. Panaxydol (5, 10mg/kg b.w./day) was administered for 3 consecutive days by intraperitoneal injection in rats fed on 1% cholesterol diet. Serum total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol levels of panaxydol administered group (5 mg/kg b.w./day) were decreased by 55%, 33% and 67% compared with those of the control group, respectively. However, a significant increase of serum HDL-cholesterol was observed on panaxydol administered group. Furthermore, hepatic cholestrol levels was significantly decreased in panaxydol administered group. These results suggest that panaxydol could protect hypercholesterolemia.

The extraction efficiencies of panaxynol and panaxydol were optimal at 80$^{\circ}C$ with soxhlet method. The extraction efficiencies increased up to 45$^{\circ}C$ with shaking method. Amounts of panaxynol and panaxydol were determined by gas chromatography. Extracted quantities of panaxynol and panaxydol using the shaking method increased over a period of 14 hours. The efficiencies of panaxynol and panaxydol extraction by soxhlet and shaking methods were higher for smaller particle sizes. Upon water swelling treatment, extraction efficiencies of panaxynol and panaxydol decreased gradually with time for both methods.

A gas chromatographic method was developed for determination of the concentration of three major polyacetylene compounds in ginseng roots---panaxynol, panaxydol and panaxytriol. The column and the detector used were an SPB-1 fused silica capillary (0.2mm i.d.$\times$30m, Supelco) and a flame ionization detector (FID). The column oven temperature was kept at $250^{\circ}C$ isothermally The retention times of panaxynol, panaxydol and panaxytriol peaks were 4.2,5.1 and 6.9 min before TMS-derivatitration and 4.5,5.4 and 7.4 min after TMS-derivatization, respectively. The minimum determinable concentrations of panaxynol, panaxydol and panaxytriol before TMS-derivatiEation were at the 20, 50 and 100 ppm levels, while the concentrations of panaxydol and panaxytriol as well as panaxynol after TMS- derivatisation could be towered to the 5 ppm level. The panaxynol, panaxydol and panaxytriol contents in red ginseng were determined by use of this method after TMS-derivatization : the amounts obtained were 724, 721 and 71$\mu\textrm{g}$/g, respectively.

Polyacetylenes were extracted from Korean ginseng using supercritical $CO_2$ Yield of extraction of panaxydol and panaxynol was increased as the pressure of supercritical $CO_2$ increased at the range from 200 to 300 bar. The optimal yields of panaxydol and panaxynol was achieved at 65 and $55^{\circ}C$, respectively. Methanol was applied as a modifier. The highest yield of panaxydol and panaxynol were 0.230 and 0.054 mg/g-dry weight at modifier concentration of 10%(w/w), 300 bar, and $65^{\circ}C$. When these results were compared to that of methanol-extraction, the recoveries of panaxydol and panaxynol by supercritical $CO_2$ extraction in SFE were 37.8 and 55.1%, respectively.

The extraction efficiencies of panaxynol and panaxydol according to extraction temperature were the highest at $80^{cdot}C$ among 65, 80, $95^{cdot}C$ with soxhlet and increased with shaking method when temperature increased from $25^{cdot}C$ to $45^{cdot}C$. The amounts of panaxynol and panaxydol were determined by gas chromatography. In time dependence of extracted amounts of panaxynol and panaxydol using shaking method, the efficiencies of panaxynol and panaxydol were increased during 12 hour. The effect of water swelling on panaxynol and panaxydol extraction efficiency using soxhlet and shaking methods, the efficiencies of panaxynol and panaxydol were decreased as swelling time was increased.

The extraction of panaxynol and panaxydol from Korean ginseng was found to be op-timal at 55$^{\circ}C$ for the shaking method, 80$^{\circ}C$ for the soxhlet method, and 65$^{\circ}C$ for the supercritical extraction method. The amount of extracted panaxydol and panaxynol, and their increased over a period of 12 h with the shaking method. The soxhlet method produced an extract with the largest panaxydol/panaxynol ratio. A reduced particle size enhanced extraction, however the ration of panaxydol/panaxynol decreased. Swelling in water was found to be detrimental for the extrac-tion of panaxydol and panaxynol.

Objectives: Cultivated wild ginseng (cWG), called SanYangSanSam, has been used clinically in patients with chronic fatigue in Korea. Little is known about effects of the ginseng distilled (volatile) components produced during evaporizaiton. Recently, we first identified one major component from cWG distilled extract, panaxydol, by using mass spectrometry. However, functional properties of cWG distilled extract and panaxydol remains elusive. Therefore, the present study evaluated the effect of cWG distilled extract or panaxydol on exercise-induced fatigue in rats. Methods: Fatigue was induced by forced swimming and the immobility time was analyzed in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals received intraperitoneally either vehicle, cWG distilled extract, or panaxydol 10 min prior to beginning of the forced swimming test (FST) once daily for 5 days. After the FST on day 5, we also analyzed fatigue-related biochemical levels including blood urea nitrogen (BUN), lactate acid (LAC), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in serum and levels of glycogen in liver and soleus muscle. Results: The forced swimming time in cWG distilled extract (0.6 mL/kg)-treated group was significantly longer than that of control group on day 4 and 5. Panaxydol (0.1 and 0.25 mg/kg)-treated groups showed significantly enhanced performance in the forced swimming, compared to control. In addition, a significant decrease in serum LDH level was found in panaxydol-treated group, while there were no alternations in levels of serum BUN and LAC and glycogen in liver or soleus muscle. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated cWG distilled extract and its active component panaxydol have a function of anti-fatigue.

The amounts of panaxynol and panaxydol, which are major polyacetylone compounds In white ginseng were determined by capillary-GC (FID), and the extraction efficiencies when using varictus extraction solvents (petroleum ether, dichloromethane, ether, ethyl acetate, acetone, acetonitrilr and methanol) and various extraction methods (shaking, Soxhlet and reflux) were compared . The GC column was SPB-1 fused silica capillary (0.25 mm id x30 m, Supelco), and the column oven temperature was programmed to rise from $200^{\circ}C$ to $300^{\circ}C$ at the rate of $4^{\circ}C$ per minute. The extraction efficiencies for panaxynol and panaxydol according to extraction souvtints were the highest in methanol and decreased in the order of dichloromethane, acetone, ether, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile and petroleum ether. The extracttion efficiencies for panaxynol and panaxydol according to extraction methods were the highest for reflux and the lowest for shaking, and those with Soxhlet were almost equal to those for reflux. The analytical amounts of panaxynol and panaxydol obtained by reflux with methanol %mere 4.2 and 6.4 mg/g, respectittely in white ginseng.

In order to develop the biotechnological methods for the mass production of anticancer compounds from tissue culture of Panax ginseng C.A. Mayer, these studies were carried out for the selection of ginseng cell lines containing higher concentration of polyacetylene compounds and optimal condition for their biosynthesis. Panaxynol, one of ginseng polyacetylene, was not detected in any callus induced from ginseng superior cell lines cultured on MS medium supplemented with $\beta$-chlorophenoxy acetic acid (CPA). Panaxydol, another one of polyacetylene and anticancer compounds, were detected in calli of 5 cell lines by thin layer chromatogram and gas chromatogram. Among the 18 ginseng superior lines, the cell line 30201 has higher content of panaxydol. Especially, panaxydol was not detected in the callus induced from cell line 10301 which cultured on the medium containing CPA only, however, it was detected on the same callus cultured on mixed medium containing CAP 2 mg/L and BA 0.05 mg/L. SH medium was better than MS medium for ginseng callus growth and biosynthesis of polyacetylene, and also found that it was not effected by NAA and sucrose concentration in the culture medium.
