Chemical Studies on Crude Drug Precession. I. On the Constituents of Ginseng Radix Rubra (1)

Abstract
During the studies on the chemical characterization of crude drug precession, the constituents of Ginseng Radix Rubra [prepared from Panax ginseng] were investigated by comparing with those of Ginseng Radix. Panaxynol (4), ginsenosides Ro, Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, Rg1, Rg2 (11), Rg3 (10a) and Rh1 (9) were identified as common constituents of both Ginseng, whereas panaxytriol (1), ginsenoside Rh2 (8), 20(R)-ginsenoside Rh1 (9a), 20(S)-ginsenoside Rg3 (10) and 20(R)-ginsenoside Rg2 (11a) were elucidated as characteristic constituents of Ginseng Radix Rubra. The less polar constituents of Ginseng Radix Rubra were significantly different from those of various samples of Ginseng Radix by means of TLC-profile analysis.
