Abstract:
Ginsenoside Rd (GSRd) is one of the rare saponin monomers extracted from ginseng. Most importantly, GSRd could effectively cross the intact blood-brain barrier (BBB). Studies have shown that it plays an important role in the treatment of neurological diseases such as ischemic stroke (IS), spinal cord injury (SCI), Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). The results of these studies are of great significance for the clinical application of GSRd in the treatment in neurological diseases. This article reviewed the protective effects of GSRd in central nervous system diseases and analysed the related mechanism.
