PROCÉDÉ DE PRÉPARATION DE LA GINTONINE, QUI EST UNE NOUVELLE GLYCOLIPOPROTÉINE ISSUE DE PANAX GINSENG, ET GINTONINE, QUI EST UNE NOUVELLE GLYCOLIPOPROTÉINE, PRÉPARÉE PAR LE PROCÉDÉ
Disclosed are the novel glycolipoprotein gintonin isolated and identified from ginseng, a method for preparing the same, and uses thereof. Gintonin causes a transient increase in intracellular free Ca 2+ level, which in turn activates endogenous Ca 2+ -activated chloride channel to elevate intracellular calcium levels. Therefore, the novel glycolipoproteins are useful in the therapy and prophylaxis of calcium deficiency-associated diseases as well as effectively inducing calcium-dependent physiological activities, including adaptogenic activity, immunostimulatory activity, aphrodisiac activity, neuroprotection and neuroactivation, angiogenesis, and antidiabetic activity.
