Abstract:
As a famous traditional Chinese medicine, ginseng's metabolism has been a hot spot in recent years. In this review, relevant literatures on the research progress of the metabolism of ginsenosides in vitro have been introduced. This review focuses on artifical juice metabolism, intestinal bacteria metabolism, microbial and enzymatic biotransformation of ginsenosides. Main metabolic pathways of ginsenosides in vitro are also analyzed, which will provide a reference for the systematic study on metabolism of ginsenosides.

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In vitro
The diffusion cell method uses a two-compartment cell, including a donor compartment with the drug solution, which simulates the environment where the drug is applied, and a receptor compartment with a buffer solution, which simulates the environment...

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In situ
The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...

Factors Affecting Drug Biotransformation: Biological
Species differences: Variations in enzyme systems across species can cause disparities in drug metabolism. For instance, humans may metabolize certain drugs faster than rodents, altering therapeutic effects.
Strain differences: Genetic variations within a species can result in differing enzyme activity, impacting drug response and toxicity. For example, some mouse strains may...
