Ginsenoside F1 has been shown to flaunt anticancer, anti-aging, and antioxidant effects and has demonstrated competitive inhibition of CYP3A4 activity and weaker inhibition of CYP2D6 activity. The cell viabilities are 68% at the highest concentration of ginsenoside F1 (200 μM) in MTT assays.
ApoE -/- mice are fed a high fat diet and orally treated with Ginsenoside F1 (50 mg/kg/day) for 8 weeks. Ginsenoside F1 treated mice significantly reduce the lesion size compared with model group mice.
