title: Inhibitory effects of ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1 on rat brain microsomal Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity.
abstract: Rat brain microsomal Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity was inhibited significantly and rapidly by ginsenoside Rb1. The IC50 of Rb1 for Na+,K(+)-ATPase was 6.3 +/- 1.0 mumol/L. The inhibition was enhanced with increasing the concentration of Rb1 or decreasing that of Na+ and K+. Kinetic analysis revealed that ginsenoside was an uncompetitive inhibitor with respect to ATP. The inhibitory effect of Rg1 on rat brain microsomal Na+,K(+)-ATPase was much weaker than that of Rb1.
