The active composition of ginseng extracts can assist the treatment of cancer
Washington, August 16 (Xinhuanet) ' Reporter Ren HaiJun) American researchers say on the 15th, the animal studies to reveal, the active composition of ginseng extracts - -Ginseng alkyne three alcohol and similar compound contribute to relieving the side effects of some cancer treatments. The researchers lying in Slone - Kettering's cancer research institute of New York have formated compound similar to three alcohol of alkyne of ginsengs, then the experiment mouse that is suffering from breast cancer or cancer of colon launches the experiment on one's body, it is tested that this kind of compound offsets the ability of chemotherapy or radiotherapy side effect. The result reveals, inject this kind of compound for the experiment mouse before accepting radiotherapy, can reduce whom radiotherapy cause, lose weight with the blood cell damaging. Researchers think, ginseng alkyne three alcohol and similar compound can reduce the peripheral nerve damaging and sick weight that initiate due to Japanese yew alcohol of anticancer drugs to drop, can reduce 5 anticancer drugs - the intersection of Fluorine and the intersection of urine and pyrimidine to erythrocyte and damage of leucocyte, thus reduce the risks of infection and anaemia of persons who take medicine. This research results are issued in U.S.A. a new " journal of national academy of sciences " on the same day. Researchers say, a kind of clinic that ginseng alkyne three alcohol and similar compound can become auxiliary treatment of cancer selects. However, before testing clinically, the chemical constitution needing to be similar to compound to three alcohol of alkyne of ginseng is optimized.
