Comparative analysis of the expression level of recombinant ginsenoside-transforming β-glucosidase in GRAS hosts and mass production of the ginsenoside Rh2-Mix. [PDF]
The ginsenoside Rh2, a pharmaceutically active component of ginseng, is known to have anticancer and antitumor effects. However, white ginseng and red ginseng have extremely low concentrations of Rh2 or Rh2-Mix [20(S)-Rh2, 20(R)-Rh2, Rk2, and Rh3].

A stereo-selective growth inhibition profile of ginsenoside Rh2 on human colon cancer cells
We compared the stereo-selective growth inhibition effects of purified enantiomeric pairs of ginsenoside Rh2 (20(S)-ginsenoside Rh2 and 20(R)-ginsenoside Rh2) on human colon cancer cells in vitro with non-invasive real-time cellular analysis. When 50 μM,
