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.

In this study, the molecular mechanism of the growth inhibitory effect of panaxynol was investigated in a human malignant melanoma cell line, SK-MEL-l. In the cell cycle analysis, panaxynol arrested cell cycle progression of SK-MEL-I at the G1 phase. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that panaxynol increased $p21^{WAF1}$ and decreased cdc2 expression. Protein levels of pl6, p27, E2F-1, Rb, and p53 were not changed. Thus, the changes in expression levels of $p21^{WAF1}$ and cdc2 apparently mediate the cell cycle arrest caused by panaxynol. In addition, cycloheximide (CHX) partially reversed the growth inhibition by panaxynol, which suggested that new protein synthesis was required. On the other hand, LLnL, a proteasome inhibitor, increased antiproliferative effect of panaxynol. This may be due to stabilization of the protein(s) responsible for the growth inhibition such as $p21^{WAF1}$. In summary, these results demonstrate that panaxynol inhibits proliferation of SK-MEL-I by inducing cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and the inhibitory effect is mediated by the increased level of $p21^{WAF1}$ as well as decreased cdc2 expression.

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.

Effects of panaxydol, panaxynol and panaxytriol isolated from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer on some enzyme activities were determined. Activities of ATPase, membrane-bound enzyme from Sarcoma 180 and rat liver were slightly inhibited by panaxydol. Activities of 5'-nucleotidase, membrane-bound enzyme and succinate cytochrome c reductase in mitochonidria from sarcoma 180 and rat livers were significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by panaxynol. The inhibitory effects of panaxydol and panaxynol on succinate cytochrome c reductase activities were more potent than those on 5'-nucleotidase activities and panaxynol was found to be a very potent inhibitor of succinate cytochrome c reductase. Activities of glucose-6-phosphatase in endoplasmic reticulum from Sarcoma 180 and rat livers were not affected by all three polyacetylenes. These results suggested that the inhibitory effects of panaxydol and panaxynol on enzyme activities might contribute to their biological activities.

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.

Panaxynol and panaxydol are major polyacetylene compounds in Ginseng and Wild Mountain Ginseng. Their contents in Korean wild mountain ginseng, Chinese mountain ginseng, and cultured ginseng were analysed by GC with FID. The content ratio of panaxynol to panaxydol was clearly different in various ginsengs. They were 1.81, 0.87, and 0.42 for Korean wild mountain ginseng, Chinese wild mountain ginseng, and cultured ginseng, respectively. The ratio difference could be used as a marker to identify various ginseng from different sources.

Exciton chirality method was applied for the determination of absolute configuration of panaxynol, a poly-yne compound from Panax ginseng roots for the first time. The circular dichroic spectra of panaxynol benzoates show the negative chirality at ${\lambda}_{ext}$, indicating the S configuration of C-3 chiral center.
