Preferred Label : Ginsenoside Rg3 Capsule;
NCIt synonyms : Shen Yi Capsule;
NCIt definition : A capsule containing the steroidal saponin ginsenoside Rg3 isolated from the root
of Panax ginseng, with potential cancer preventive and anti-angiogenic activities.
Upon oral administration, ginsenoside Rg3 appears to inhibit endothelial cell proliferation,
migration and tubular formation, and promotes cancer cell apoptosis. This agent also
modulates the activities of certain growth factors, such as vascular endothelial growth
factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and matrix metalloproteinases
(MMPs), on tumor angiogenesis. In addition, ginsenoside Rg3 may be able to sensitize
cancer cells to some chemotherapeutic agents.;
