Ginsenoside is a steroid-like molecular component having gonane steroid nucleus along with different sugar moieties attached to them found in the roots of Panax ginseng. Ginsenoside Rd is the main active component of ginsenosides, having the ability to inhibit Ca2+ influx through receptors and store-operated Ca2+ channel. From neural stem cells, it is seen to enhance astrocyte differentiation. It also reduces the 3-nitropropionic acid-induced motor impairment and cell loss in stratum. It constitutes to one of the major ingredient in total saponin content from Panax notoginseng.

It was used as reference standard in UPLC/TOF-MS analysis of human plasma to determine Ginsenoside metabolites.
