Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2017 Ginseng extract has been used for prevention of atopic dermatitis (AD) in experimental animal models. However, little is known about its active ingredients and the molecular mechanisms underlying its anti-AD effects. Recently, we isolated a unique lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor ligand, gintonin, from ginseng.
