Estrogenic potency of six triterpene glycosides, Holothurin A, Holotoxin A(1), Frondoside A, Cucumarioside A(2)-2 and Cauloside C, that are natural products and semi-synthesized Ginsenoside-Rh-2, were examined with yeast two-hybfid system, including expressed genes of human estrogen receptor, hER alpha, the co-activator TIF2 and lacZ as a reporter gene. Only Ginsenoside-Rh, exhibited significant moderate estrogenic activity in the concentration range of 10(-7) to 10(-6) M. Its effect was approximately 30% of the activity of 17 beta-estradiol applied at half-effective concentration. This indicates Ginsenosides-Rh-2 is a weak phytoestrogen. The sea cucumber triterpene glycosides, Holothurin A, Holotoxin A(1), Cucumarioside A(2)-2 and Frondoside A, and plant glycoside Cauloside C had no appreciable estrogenic activity. Data obtained by yeast two-hybrid assay reflect structure-activity relationship between tested compounds and 17 beta-estradiol. Only Ginsenoside-Rh, has some similarity in chemical structure with 17 beta-estradiol that might explain affinity of this glycoside to the hER alpha receptor. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
