Abstract:
New anti- Toxoplasma gondii agents are in demand due to the emergence of high toxicity. Ginseng polysaccharides and saponins can be used to treat the replication of Toxoplasma gondii in an attempt to determine whether the medicinal uses of ginseng are supported by pharmacological effects. Anti- Toxoplasma gondii activities of ginseng polysaccharides and saponins were examined in vitro and in vivo. The findings are the survival time and rate of Toxoplasma gondii infected mice after the intake of the total polysaccharides and saponins increased compared to untreated control mice. The survival rate of mice treated with ginseng saponins was the highest at 83.3%, the phenomenon of splenomegaly of mice was decreased especially ( p < 0.05) treated with ginseng polysaccharides. Accordingly, ginseng polysaccharides and saponins have a potential application in anti-Toxoplasma gondii treatments.
