Glycosyltransformation of ginsenoside Rh2 to two novel ginsenosides by recombinant glycosyltransferase from Lactobacillus rhamnosus and its in vitro applications

ConclusionThis is the first report on the synthesis of two novel ginsenosides, namely glucosyl-ginsenoside Rh2 and diglucosyl-ginsenoside Rh2 from Rh2 by utilizing recombinant glycosyltransferase isolated from L. rhamnosus. Moreover, diglucosyl-ginsenoside Rh2 might be a new candidate for treatment of inflammation, obesity and skin whiting, and especially for anticancer.Graphical abstract
