ProtopanaxADIolisatriterpenesapogeninoriginallyfoundinspeciesofPanax(ginseng)thatexhibitsanticancer,neuromodulatory,neuroprotective,andantioxidativeactivities.ProtopanaxadiolpreventsbreakdownofvitaminD3andactsasanantagoNISTatGABA-Areceptors.Protopanaxadiolalsoinhibitsproliferationofcolorectalcancercellsandinducesmitochondria-andcaspase-dependentapoptosisinlungadenocarcinomacellsbydecreasingthemitochondrialmembranepotentialandincreasingreleaseofcytochromeC,activationofcaspases3and9,andcleavageofPARP.Inanimalmodelsofcerebralischemia,protopanaxadiolincreasesactivityofsuperoxidedismutaseandNa+/K+ATPases,stimulatesexpressionofBcl-2,anddecreasesinfarctsizeandneurologicaldeficits.
