Microbial conversion of ginsenoside Rd from Rb1 by the fungus mutant Aspergillus niger strain TH-10a

Ginsenoside Rd, one of the ginsenosides with significant pharmaceutical activities, is getting more and more attractions on its biotransformation. In this study, a novel fungus mutant, the Aspergillus niger strain TH-10a, which can efficiently convert ginsenoside Rd from Rb1, was obtained through screening survival library of LiCl and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The transformation product ginsenoside Rd, generated by removing the outer glucose residue from the position C20 of ginsenoside Rb1, was identified through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Factors for the microbial culture and biotransformation were investigated in terms of the carbon sources, the nitrogen sources, pH values, and temperatures. This showed that maximum mycelia growth could be obtained at 28°C and pH 6.0 with cellobiose and tryptone as the carbon source and the nitrogen source, respectively. The highest transformation rate (～86%) has been achieved at 32°C and pH 5.0 with the feeding time of substrate 48 hr. Also, Aspergillus niger strain TH-10a could tolerate even 40 mg/mL ginseng root extract as substrate with 60% bioconversion rate after 72 hr of treatment at the optimal condition. Our results highlight a novel ginsenoside Rd transformation fungus and illuminate its potentially practical application in the pharmaceutical industries.     

Microbial conversion of major ginsenoside rb(1) to pharmaceutically active minor ginsenoside rd

More than seventy strains of aerobic bacteria showing beta-glucosidase activity were isolated from a ginseng field, using a newly designed Esculin-R2A agar, and identified by their 16S rRNA gene sequences. Of these microorganisms, twelve strains could convert the major ginsenoside, Rb(1), to the pharmaceutically active minor ginsenoside Rd. Three strains, Burkholderia pyrrocinia GP16, Bacillus megaterium GP27 and Sphingomonas echinoides GP50, were phylogenetically studied, and observed to be most potent at converting ginsenoside Rb(1) almost completely within 48 h, as shown by TLC and HPLC analyses.     

基于UPLC法测定离体大鼠及人源肠道菌对三七中人参皂苷代谢的差异

Simultaneous Determination and Analysis of Major Ginsenosides in Wild American Ginseng Grown in Tennessee

Ginsenosides are the major constituent that is responsible for the health effects of American ginseng. The ginsenoside profile of wild American ginseng is ultimately the result of germplasm, climate, geography, vegetation species, water, and soil conditions. This is the first report to address the ginsenoside profile of wild American ginseng grown in Tennessee (TN), the third leading state for production of wild American ginseng. In the present study, ten major ginsenosides in wild American ginseng roots grown in TN, including Rb1, Rb2, Rb3, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, Rg1, Rg2, and Rg3, were determined simultaneously. The chemotypic differences among TN wild ginseng, cultivated American ginseng, and Asian ginseng were assessed based on the widely used markers of ginsenoside profiling, including the top three ginsenosides, ratios of PPD/PPT, Rg1/Rb1, Rg1/Re, and Rb2/Rc. Our findings showed marked variation in ginsenoside profile for TN wild ginseng populations. Nevertheless, TN wild ginseng has significant higher ginsenoside content and more ginsenoside diversity than the cultivated ginseng. The total ginsenoside content in TN wild ginseng, as well as ginsenosides Rg1 and Re, increases with the age of the roots. Marked chemotypic differences between TN wild ginseng and cultivated American ginseng were observed based on the chemotypic markers. Surprisingly, we found that TN wild ginseng is close to Asian ginseng with regard to these characteristics in chemical composition. This study verified an accessible method to scientifically elucidate the difference in chemical constituents to distinguish wild from the cultivated American ginseng. This work is critical for the ecological and biological assessments of wild American ginseng so as to facilitate long‐term sustainability of the wild population.     

Transformation of Ginsenosides Rb1 and Re from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Panax ginseng</Emphasis> by Food Microorganisms

Ginsenosides Rb1 and Re, respectively belonging to the major protopanaxadiol and protopanaxatriol ginsenosides, were transformed using cell-free extracts from food microorganisms. Rb1 was transformed into compound K via Rd and F2 by Bifidobacterium sp. Int57, Bif. sp. SJ32, Aspergillus niger and A.␣usamii. Lactobacillus delbrueckii, and Leuconostoc paramesenteroides transformed Rb1 into Rh2 via Rd and F2. Bifidobacterium sp. SH5 transformed Rb1 into F2 via Rd. Re was transformed into Rh1 via Rg2 by Bif. sp. Int57 and Bif. sp. SJ32. A. niger transformed Re into Rh1 via Rg1. A. usamii transformed Re into Rg2. Transformation of Rb1 proceeded at a higher rate and needed less amount of enzymes than that of Re. Taken together, these processes would allow a specific bioconversion process possible to obtain specific ginsenosides using an appropriate combination of ginsenoside substrates and specific microbial enzymes.     

Impact of external calcium and calcium sensors on ginsenoside Rb1 biosynthesis by Panax notoginseng cells

The effects of external calcium concentrations on biosynthesis of ginsenoside Rb1 and several calcium signal sensors were quantitatively investigated in suspension cultures of Panax notoginseng cells. It was observed that the synthesis of intracellular ginsenoside Rb1 in 3-day incubation was dependent on the medium Ca2+ concentration (0-13 mM). At an optimal Ca2+ concentration of 8 mM, a maximal ginsenoside Rb1 content of 1.88 +/- 0.03 mg g(-1) dry weight was reached, which was about 60% and 25% higher than that at Ca2+ concentrations of 0 and 3 mM, respectively. Ca2+ feeding experiments confirmed the Ca2+ concentration-dependent Rb1 biosynthesis. In order to understand the mechanism of the signal transduction from external Ca2+ to ginsenoside biosynthesis, the intracellular content of calcium and calmodulin (CaM), activities of calcium/calmodulin-dependent NAD kinase (CCDNK) and calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK), and activity of a new biosynthetic enzyme of ginsenoside Rb1, i.e., UDPG:ginsenoside Rd glucosyltransferase (UGRdGT), in the cultured cells were all analyzed. The intracellular calcium content and CCDNK activity were increased with an increase of external Ca2+ concentration within 0-13 mM. In contrast, the CaM content and activities of CDPK and UGRdGT reached their highest levels at 8 mM of initial Ca2+ concentration, which was also optimal to the ginsenoside Rb1 synthesis. A similar Ca2+ concentration-dependency of the intracellular contents of calcium and CaM and activities of CCDNK, CDPK, and UGRdGT was confirmed in Ca2+ feeding experiments. Finally, a possible model on the effect of external calcium on ginsenoside Rb1 biosynthesis via the signal transduction pathway of CaM, CDPK, and UGRdGT is proposed. Regulation of external Ca2+ concentration is considered a useful strategy for manipulating ginsenoside Rb1 biosynthesis by P. notoginseng cells.     

Purification method improvement and characterization of a novel ginsenoside-hydrolyzing beta-glucosidase from Paecilomyces Bainier sp. 229

The purification method for a novel ginsenoside-hydrolyzing beta-glucosidase from Paecilomyces Bainier sp. 229 was successfully simplified by the application of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as a novel chromatographic matrix. Only two chromatographic steps, Q-Sepharose FF and MCC column in sequence, were required to purify the enzyme to apparent homogeneity. The purified enzyme, with a native molecular weight estimated to be 305 KDa, was composed of three identical subunits of approximately 102 KDa each. The optimal enzyme activity was observed at pH 3.5 at 55 degrees C. It was stable within pH 3-7 and at temperatures lower than 50 degrees C. The optimal substrate for the enzyme was p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucoside, followed by ginsenoside Rd, gentiobiose, and ginsenoside Rb1. It converted ginsenoside Rb1 to ginsenoside Rg3 specifically and efficiently. The hydrolyzing pathway of ginsenoside Rb1 by the enzyme was Rb1-->Rd-->Rg3. The specific activities against ginsenoside Rb1 and Rd were 56.7 micromol/min/mg and 129.4 micromol/min/mg respectively.

High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry applied for metabolic study of ginsenoside Rb1 on rat

Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry has been applied to investigate the in vivo metabolism of ginsenoside Rb(1) in rat. Both positive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and negative electrospray ionization mass spectrometry were used to identify the Rb(1) and its metabolites in rat plasma, urine, and feces samples. Oxygenation and deglycosylation were found to be the major metabolic pathways of Rb(1) in rat. A total of nine metabolites were detected in urine and feces samples collected after intravenous and oral administration. Deglycosylated metabolism of Rb(1) generated other ginsenosides as the major metabolites, such as Rd, Rg(3) or F(2), Rh(2), or C-K. This result indicates that the ginsenoside Rb(1) has many pharmacological activities and could be used as a prodrug.
