The author investigated the potential of rare ginsenosides and their aglycones to block hepatic and intestinal inactivation of 1α,25(OH)2D3, which is the most potent ligand of vitamin D receptor. The results suggest that rare ginsenosides, specifically aPPD and aPPT, inhibit the CYP3A4-mediated catabolism of active vitamin D3 in human liver and intestine, potentially providing additional vitamin D-related benefits to patients with cancer, neurodegenerative and metabolic diseases.
