Introduction Ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer, Araliaceae) is one of the most important oriental medicinal plants in Japan, Korea and China [1]. Of the two kinds of ginseng, white ginseng is air dried, and red ginseng is produced by steaming raw ginseng at 98–100 C for 2-3 h. It has been reported that red ginseng is more effective in pharmacological activities than white ginseng [25]. e differences in biological activities and chemical constituents of red and white ginsengs have been reported. Anticancer properties and other pharmacological activities of Panax ginseng [68] have been studied and ginsenosides are recognized as active anticancer compounds [6]. Compared with Asian white ginseng, red ginseng has stronger anticancer activities [9, 10]. Recently, there was a report using a steaming process to treat American ginseng root [5]. In the study, however, the treatment temperature was 100 C and, thus, chemical constituents did not change significantly. Anticarcinogenic and antidiabetic effects of P. ginseng have been reported [9, 11]. Several other compounds and biological activities have been reported from the ginseng roots of P. ginseng [1214]. e most well-known chemical constituent of ginseng is ginsenosides, which are dammarane glycosides. Dammarane glycosides were reported from many parts of ginseng and heat processed P. ginseng roots [15, 16]. e chemical and morphological variations of Panax notoginseng and their relationship were recently described [17]. In continuation of our previous work [18, 19] on P. ginseng roots, two more new compounds were isolated as natural products. is paper deals with the isolation and structure elucidation of two new compounds, stigmasta-3-ol-3- (2 R,3 S)-butane-1 ,2 ,3 ,4 -tetraolyl-2 ,3 -dioctadec-9 /9 - enoyl-4 -octadec-9 ,12 -dienoate (1) and stigmasta-5- en-3-ol-3-(2 R,3 S)-butane-1 ,2 ,3 ,4 -tetraolyl-2 ,3 - dioctadec-9 /9 -enoyl-4 -octadec-9 ,12 -dienoate (2), on the basis of 1 H and 13 C NMR, spectroscopic studies, including 2D-NMR (COSY, HMBC, and HSQC), FAB-MS, ESI FT/MS, IR spectroscopy, and chemical reactions from the heat processed roots of P. ginseng. is is the first report of the isolated compounds (1 and 2) from the heat processed roots of P. ginseng.

1 Introduction

Ginseng (Panax ginseng C AMeyer Araliaceae) is one of themost important oriental medicinal plants in Japan Korea andChina [1] Of the two kinds of ginseng white ginseng is airdried and red ginseng is produced by steaming raw ginsengat 98ndash100∘C for 2-3 h It has been reported that red ginsengis more effective in pharmacological activities than whiteginseng [2ndash5] The differences in biological activities andchemical constituents of red and white ginsengs have beenreported Anticancer properties and other pharmacologicalactivities of Panax ginseng [6ndash8] have been studied andginsenosides are recognized as active anticancer compounds[6] Compared with Asian white ginseng red ginseng hasstronger anticancer activities [9 10] Recently there was areport using a steaming process to treat American ginsengroot [5] In the study however the treatment temperaturewas 100∘C and thus chemical constituents did not changesignificantly

Anticarcinogenic and antidiabetic effects of P ginsenghave been reported [9 11] Several other compounds andbiological activities have been reported from the ginseng

roots of P ginseng [12ndash14] The most well-known chemicalconstituent of ginseng is ginsenosides which are dammaraneglycosides Dammarane glycosides were reported frommanyparts of ginseng and heat processed P ginseng roots [1516] The chemical and morphological variations of Panaxnotoginseng and their relationship were recently described[17]

In continuation of our previous work [18 19] on P ginsengroots two more new compounds were isolated as naturalproducts This paper deals with the isolation and structureelucidation of two new compounds stigmasta-3120572-ol-3120572-(21015840R31015840S)-butane-11015840210158403101584041015840-tetraolyl-2101584031015840-dioctadec-9101584010158409101584010158401015840-enoyl-41015840-octadec-91015840101584010158401015840121015840101584010158401015840-dienoate (1) and stigmasta-5-en-3120573-ol-3120573-(21015840R31015840S)-butane-11015840 21015840 31015840 41015840-tetraolyl-21015840 31015840-dioctadec-9101584010158409101584010158401015840-enoyl-41015840-octadec-91015840101584010158401015840121015840101584010158401015840-dienoate (2)on the basis of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic studiesincluding 2D-NMR (COSY HMBC and HSQC) FAB-MSESI FTMS IR spectroscopy and chemical reactions fromthe heat processed roots of P ginseng This is the first reportof the isolated compounds (1 and 2) from the heat processedroots of P ginseng Due to the significance of ginseng rootsof P ginseng of this plant as a medicinal the work in this area

21 Plant Material Fresh ginseng (P ginseng) was cultivatedof ground dried roots ginseng (6 years old) in GanghwadoRepublic of Korea A voucher specimen (No PG-R-11) hasbeen deposited at the Department of Applied Life ScienceKonkuk University Korean red ginseng was prepared byusing nonpeeled fresh ginseng which was steamed at 98∘Cfor 2 h using an autoclave The steamed ginseng after dryingand powdered 2978 g was prepared for extraction

22 Extraction of Korean Red Ginseng Powder The Koreanred ginseng powder (2978 g) was immersed in methanol(3 times 1 litre) for three days at room temperature and then thesupernatant was concentrated under vacuum to yield 301 g ofthe extract which was suspended in water and extracted withhexane ethyl acetate and n-butanol successively to produce5 g 89 g and 142 g extract respectively

has already been done The aim of the present investigationis to report some of the new findings in the form of naturalproducts from heat processed roots of P ginseng (Korean redginseng)

2 Materials and Methods

Optical rotationwasmeasured with an instrument on anAA-10 model polarimeter (Instruments Ltd Seoul Republic ofKorea) IR spectra were recorded on an Infinity Gold FT-IR(Thermo Mattson Waltham MA USA) spectrophotometerwhichwas available at Korea Institute of Science andTechnol-ogy Seoul Republic of Korea Both 1H and 13C-NMR spectrawere obtained on a Bruker Avance 600 high-resolutionspectrometer operating at 600 and 150MHz respectivelyThisNMRmachinewas available at SeoulNationalUniversity(SNU) Seoul Republic of Korea and all NMR spectra wererecorded at SNU (Instrument Bruker Germany) NMR spec-tra were obtained in deuterated chloroform using tetram-ethylsilane (TMS) as an internal standard with chemicalshifts expressed in ppm (120575) and coupling constants (119869) inHz FABMS data were recorded on a JMS-700 (Jeol MitakaJapan) spectrometer instrument which was available at SNUSeoul Republic of Korea All chemicals used were of ana-lytical grade Hexane ethyl acetate chloroform methanolethanol water sulphuric acid and vanillin were purchasedfrom Daejung Chemicals and Metals Co Ltd Republicof Korea Precoated TLC plates (layer thickness 025mm)silica gel for column chromatography (70ndash230mesh Amer-ican Society Testing Materials) and LiChroprep RP-18 (40ndash63 120583m) were from Merck (Darmstadt Germany) Authenticstandards of chemicals were purchased from Sigma-AldrichUSA Previously isolated authentic standards of 120573-sitosterol-120573-D-glucoside were available

21 Plant Material Fresh ginseng (P ginseng) was cultivatedof ground dried roots ginseng (6 years old) in GanghwadoRepublic of Korea A voucher specimen (No PG-R-11) hasbeen deposited at the Department of Applied Life ScienceKonkuk University Korean red ginseng was prepared byusing nonpeeled fresh ginseng which was steamed at 98∘Cfor 2 h using an autoclave The steamed ginseng after dryingand powdered 2978 g was prepared for extraction

22 Extraction of Korean Red Ginseng Powder The Koreanred ginseng powder (2978 g) was immersed in methanol(3 times 1 litre) for three days at room temperature and then thesupernatant was concentrated under vacuum to yield 301 g ofthe extract which was suspended in water and extracted withhexane ethyl acetate and n-butanol successively to produce5 g 89 g and 142 g extract respectively

23 Isolation of the Compounds from Ethyl Acetate ExtractThe entire ethyl acetate extract was subjected to normalphase column chromatography over silica gel (500 g)to yield 30 fractions (each of 500mL) with the fol-lowing eluants fractions 1-2 with hexane fractions2ndash4 with hexane-chloroform (9 1) fractions 5-6 with
