Compound K is one of the active metabolites of saponins, which could attenuate the formation of atherosclerosis in mice modelsvia activating LXRα. We synthesized and evaluated a series of ginsenoside compound K derivatives modified with short chain fatty acids. All of the structures of this class of ginsenoside compound K derivative exhibited comparable or better biological activity than ginsenoside compound K. Especially structure exhibited the best potency (cholesteryl ester content: 41.51%; expression of ABCA1 mRNA: 319%) and low cytotoxicity.
化合物K是皂苷的活性代谢产物之一,其可通过激活肝X受体α(LXRα)减轻小鼠模型中动脉粥样硬化的形成。我们合成并评估了一系列用短链脂肪酸修饰的人参皂苷化合物K衍生物。这类人参皂苷化合物K衍生物的所有结构均表现出与人参皂苷化合物K相当或更好的生物活性。特别是结构表现出最佳效力(胆固醇酯含量:41.51%;ABCA1 mRNA表达:319%)且细胞毒性低。
