A novel ginsenoside 20(S)-Rh2 derivative, 2-Deoxy-Rh2 was synthesized and hybridized with protopanaxadiol and 2-deoxy-glucose in an attempt to enhance the anticancer activity. In vitro experiments showed that 2-Deoxy-Rh2 exhibited remarkable anticancer activity based on regulating mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, dampening glycolysis and inhibiting mitochondrial respiration.

Abstract |
20(S)-Rh2 is a ginsenoside isolated from Panax ginseng, which exhibits anti-cancer activities on various human cancer cells. A novel 20(S)-Rh2 derivative, 2-Deoxy-Rh2 was synthesized and hybridized with protopanaxadiol and 2-deoxy-glucose in an attempt to enhance the anticancer activity. Through screening the antitumor effect against various cell lines by MTT assay, 2-Deoxy-Rh2 especially resulted in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent inhibition of viability in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. Multiple methods were used to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms of 2-Deoxy-Rh2 as a potent anti-cancer agent. In MCF-7 cells, 2-Deoxy-Rh2 triggered apoptosis, stimulated ROS production and disrupted normal mitochondrial membrane potential. Meantime, 2-Deoxy-Rh2 eff ;ectively suppressed the glucose uptake capabilities and intracellular ATP production. The cellular oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) were significantly decreased in response to 2-Deoxy-Rh2, which were carried out to assess the overall glycolytic flux and mitochondrial respiration. Docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to verify the binding mode of 2-DG and 2-Deoxy-Rh2 with hexokinase II, with results showing that 2-Deoxy-Rh2 could easily fit into the similar active site of 2-DG, finally binding to hexokinase II to suppress glycolysis. Taken together, the results suggest that 2-Deoxy-Rh2 exhibited remarkable anticancer activity based on regulating mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, dampening glycolysis and inhibiting mitochondrial respiration, which support development of 2-Deoxy-Rh2 as a potential agent for cancer therapy.
