Ginsenoside Rg5 (Standard)

Ginsenoside Rg5 (Standard) is the analytical standard of Ginsenoside Rg5. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Ginsenoside Rg5 is the main component of Red ginseng and IGF-1R agonist. Ginsenoside Rg5 compets for the binding site of IGF-1R and blocks the binding of IGF-1 to IGF-1R (IC50 about 90 nM). Ginsenoside Rg5 also inhibits the mRNA expression of COX-2 via suppression of the DNA binding activities of NF-κB p65.
