Ethnopharmacological relevance

Rhizomes of Panax japonicus (RPJ), a traditional herbal medicine, was used for treating arthritis and physical weakness in China from the Ming dynasty. Triterpene saponins are the main bioactive components of RPJ. In this work, for the first time, we evaluate the therapeutic effect of the total saponin from RPJ (TSPJ) on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice induced by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) 35-55, a commonly used animal model of Multiple sclerosis (MS).
