title: Anticomplementary activity of ginseng saponins and their degradation products.
abstract: The anticomplementary activity of ginseng saponins and their degradation products obtained by chemical treatment of Korean red ginseng saponins was investigated. The total saponin and its major components showed strong anticomplementary activity and their structure-activity relationship was evaluated.
