A root culture of Panax ginseng was able to convert 3,5-dimethoxyphenol (taxicatigenin) into its glucoside (taxicatin), primeveroside and gentiobioside, methyl salicylate into its glucoside and gentiobioside, p-hydroxyacetophenone into its glucoside (picein), and coniferyl alcohol into dihydroconiferin propan-1-ol>.The conversion ratio and the excretion ratio of the conversion products from methyl salicylate were higher than those from the more polar p-hydroxyacetophenone, 3,5-dimethoxyphenol and coniferyl alcohol.Among the conversion products, in particular, the excretion ratio (ER) of a glucoside into the medium decreased in proportion to the quotient of substrate's Mr divided by its RRt on reversed phase HPLC (-ERMr/RRt).Key Word Index - Panax ginseng; Araliaceae; ginseng; root culture; biotransformation; glycosylation; glucoside; primeveroside; gentiobioside; 3,5-dimethoxyphenol; methyl salicylate; p-hydroxyacetophenone.
