길경의 품질평가 기준으로 활용하고 있는 crude saponin 함량 변화를 밝히고 고품질 약재생산 및 가공을 위한 기초자료를 얻고자 생육년수, 부위, 수확시기, 및 건조방법별로 조사포닌 함량을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. Crude saponin 함량은 생육년수가 증가함에 따라 점점 감소하였다. 부위별로는 미부에서 2.74%로 두부 1.65%보다 1.6배 높았으며, 외피가 내심보다 1.8배 높았다. 수확시기별로는 3월과 12월에 수확했을 때가 각각 2.82, 2.74%이었으며 6월과 9월은 각각 2.12, 2.09%이었다. 건조방법별로는 증건했을 때 가 1.65%로 가장 낮았고 양건, 음건, 열풍건 및 원적외선 건조에서는 차이가 없었다.

The parts of leaves, flowers and stems in ginseng were obtained for analyzing the component of saponin on 15th April, 25th April, 5th May, 25th May, which were considered as ginseng foliation stage. The total saponin content of the leaves were 97.29, 66.42, 67.61, 36.24 mg/g, respectively, in which the content of Re, $Rb_1$ and Rd were more than 2/3 amount of total saponin. Especially, the saponin content of leaves decreased according to the sequential collection days, in which the similar results were observed from the flowers and stems of ginseng. The total saponin content of the flowers and stems were 141.09,143.84,139.25,133.47 and 13.32, 9.85, 8.00, 4.65 mg/g, respectively. Among them, the content of Re, Rd and $Rb_2$ in flowers were more than 2/3 while the content of Re, $Rg_1$ and Rd in stems showed more than 9/10 amount of total saponin. The total saponin content of individual leaf were 19.46, 28.56, 58.82 and 169.24 mg/plant, 2.53, 2.76, 5.20 and 12.32 mg/plant in stems, and 14.11, 30.21, 37.60 and 73.41 mg/plant in flowers. Therefore, the total saponin content of aboveground parts in ginseng were leaves > flowers > stems.

더덕은 예로부터 약용으로 사용 되어 왔으며, 더덕의 뿌리에는 약용으로 가치가 높은 여러 종류의 triterpenoid 사포닌이 포함되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 더덕의 모상근 생육과 methyl jasmonate (MeJA)처리에 의한 사포닌 합성의 효과를 연구하였다. 더덕 모상근에 MeJA를 처리한 결과 주사포닌인 lancemaside A, B, E의 축적은 MeJA 무처리 모상근 보다 약 15% 정도 감소하였다. 반면 마이너사포닌(foetidissimoside A와 aster saponin Hb)의 함량은 무처리 모상근 보다 약15% 정도로 증가하였다. 이 결과를 통해 MeJA처리가 triterpene 사포닌의 생산조절을 위해 사용될 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

In order to survey possibility to produce saikosaponin from in vitro hairy root culture, culture of callus, adventitous root, and hairy root of Bupleurum falcatum L. were estabilished, and quantitative and qualitative aspects in saikosaponin extracted from these were compared with those of cultivated root. Callus grew well in MS medium containing 0.9 $\mu$M 2, 4-D. In contrast, both of adventitous root and hairy root grew well in hormone-free MS medium. However, hairy root showed more rapid growth with extensive lateral root branches, characteristics of lower content of water and softer than in adventitous root. Among the selected lines of adventitous root and hairy root were observed difference in the growth rate. Mannopine, one of opine synthesized in the transformed tissue with Agrobacterium rhizogenes. A4 were detected in the extract of hairy root lines. Pattern and content of crude saponin from adventitous and hairy root showed no difference, but somewhat difference from those of cultivated root. However, in callus, distinct production-aspect of saponin was not observed.

Platycodon grandiflorum and Glycyrrhiza uralensis contain several bioactive compounds, such as saponin, oleanolic acid, and flavone. P. grandiflorum and G. uralensis have traditionally been used to treat disorders related to blood pressure, diabetes, and counteracting poison, and they have antinociceptive and antiinflammatory properties. However, the validity of complex saponin's vasodilatory effect has not been scientifically investigated. Therefore, this study explores the vasodilatory effect of complex saponin extracted from P. grandiflorum and G. uralensis mixture extract on rabbit carotid arteries. To this end, arterial rings with intact or damaged endothelium were used in an organ bath experiment and contracted by endothelin. Complex saponins, the major active constituents of P. grandiflorum and G. uralensis mixture extract, exhibited a moderate vasodilatory effect on the rabbit's basilar arteries. Therefore, treatment with complex saponin extracted from P. grandiflorum and G. uralensis mixture extract may selectively accelerate cerebral blood flow through basilar arterial dilation. Overall, the findings suggest that the extracted complex saponins can serve as vasodilator sources.

인삼의 부위별(部位別) saponin조성(組成)에 대하여 검토하였으며 아울러 시판인삼차(市販人蔘茶)을 분석하여 saponin의 함량(含量) 및 분포형태를 검토하므로써 이들 제품의 품질을 추정하고자 하였다. (1) 백삼에는 타부위(他部位)보다 $2.6{\sim}6.6$배의 Ra(O)를 함유하였다. (2) 미삼(尾蔘), 피삼, 뇌두에는 $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$, Rc가 많았고 total saponin의 약 50%에 달하였다. (3) Rbc와 Rg(f)의 비(比)는 인삼잎이 0.64 : 1, 백삼이 2 : 1, 뇌두가 3 : 1, 인삼꽃이 3.2 : 1, 피삼이 5.8 : 1, 미삼이 7 : 1 정도였고 백삼은 미삼에 비하여 Rg(f)의 상대함량(相對含量)이 약 3배정도 많았다. (4) 13종(種)의 시판(市販)인삼차를 분석한 결과 panaxadiol계(系) saponin과 panaxatriol계(系) saponin의 비(比)는 $0.8{\sim}8\;:\;1$로 많은 차이가 있었다.

Ginseng root explants and calli were cultured on modified Murashine and Skoog's media supplemented with different concentrations of organic or inorganic compounds and plant growth requlators to clarify the effects of chemical compositon and plant growth regulators in the medium on the growth of ginseng calli and the production of ginseng saponin. For optimum growth of ginseng calli, the concentrations of 2, 4-D and sucrose were in the range of 1 to 5 mg/l and 1 to 3%, respectively. And it was clarified that sucrose, nitrogen, phosphate, calcium, magnesium, plant growth regulators and their concentrations influcenced the relative biosynthesis of saponin in tissue cultures of Panax ginseng.

Cultures of hairy root induced from ginseng(Panax C.A. Meyer) transformed with Agrobacterium rhizogenes (strain A4, ATCC 15834) were established and morphologically two different hairy root strains (HB1, HB2) were obtained. To determine the optimum growth rate, the hairy root (HB2) was cultured in various liquid medium supplemented with or without plant growth hormone. The growth rate of hairy root cultured on MS medium was 1.3-3.1 times higher than those cultured on other media, and the optimum sucrose concentration and pH were 3-6%, 5.5-6.5, respectively. Also, the growth rate of hairy root was increased when 0.02 M ammonium nitrate, 1.2 mM potassium phosphate (monobasic) and 0.5 mg/l IBA were supplied to liquid medium. The saponin patterns and contents of hairy root (HB2) were determined by TLC and HPLC. The crude saponin contents were 4.67% and the total saponin contents were 1.0%, on dry weight basis.

Panax ginseng roots produce triterpene saponins called ginsenosides, which are high value secondary metabolites and has been used as drugs, detergents, sweeteners, and cosmetics. In the recent years plant cell, tissue and organ cultures have developed as important alternative sources for the saponin production in Panax ginseng. Adventitious roots and hairy roots have been successfully induced and cultured for the improvement of saponin contents. Genetic and metabolic engineering to regulate saponin biosynthesis in P. ginseng might be important way to improve the medicinal values of P. ginseng. Here we introduced the protocol of genetic transformation and recent progress of functional characterization of genes involved in saponin biosynthesis in P. ginseng.

Background: Panax ginseng has been used as Korean medicine for various diseases. It has antioxidant, hypotensive, sedative, analgesic, and endocrine activities. Dammarane-type triterpenes from the plant have various beneficial effects. Methods: A dammarane-type triterpene saponin was isolated from P. ginseng root through chromatography such as repeated column chromatography and medium pressure liquid chromatography. Results and conclusion: New dammarane-type triterpene saponin was isolated for the first time from nature. The structure was elucidated as ginsenoside Rg12 (1) based on spectral data. There may be good materials from P. ginseng for the development of industrial applications such as nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical purposes.
