Ginsenoside F3 is a saponin extracted from the leaves of Panax ginseng with immunoenhancing and antitumor immunostimulatory activities. Ginsenoside F3 upregulates RIPOR2 with a Kd value of 3.77 μM. Ginsenoside F3 enhances NF‑κB activation, upregulates T‑bet and downregulates GATA‑3, increases the production of IL‑2 and IFN‑γ, decreases the production of IL‑4 and IL‑10, reverses CD8⁺ T‑cell exhaustion, restores cytokine secretion, and enhances antitumor immunity in a mouse non‑small cell lung cancer model. Ginsenoside F3 can be used for the research of non-small cell lung cancer.

In Vitro

Ginsenoside F3 (0.1-100 μmol/L; 72 h) significantly enhances Concanavalin A (HY-P2149)-induced murine spleen cell proliferation, with the maximal 87.2% increase occurring at 10 μmol/L[1].
Ginsenoside F3 (0.1-100 μmol/L; 48 or 72 h) increases Concanavalin A-induced IL-2 and IFN-γ production and decreases ConA-induced IL-4 and IL-10 production in murine spleen cells, with maximal effects at 10 μmol/L[1].
Ginsenoside F3 (0.1-100 μmol/L; 10 h) upregulates Concanavalin A-induced IFN-γ and T-bet mRNA expression and downregulates ConA-induced IL-4 and GATA-3 mRNA expression in murine spleen cells[1].
Ginsenoside F3 (10 μmol/L; 1 h) enhances Concanavalin A-induced NF-κB DNA binding activity in murine spleen cells[1].
Ginsenoside F3 directly binds to RIPOR2 with a binding affinity of 3.77 μM[2].
Ginsenoside F3 (0.1-10 μM; day 4 and day 6 of chronic stimulation) dose-dependently reduces the frequency of PD-1+ TIM-3+ exhausted primary mouse CD8+ T cells under chronic anti-CD3 stimulation, and restores RIPOR2 expression in these cells[2].

Showed no significant effect on LLC cells at any dose or time point.
In Vivo

Ginsenoside F3 (5 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 28 days) alone reduces NSCLC tumor burden and increases intratumoral CD4+ T cell infiltration, and synergizes with anti-PD-1 therapy to further reduce tumor burden and enhance CD8+ T cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.24 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.24 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
