The recombinant thermostable β-glucosidase from Thermotoga thermarum DSM 5069T exhibited high selectivity to catalyze the conversion of ginsenoside Re and Rg1 to the more pharmacologically active minor ginsenoside Rg2 and Rh1, respectively. At a concentration of 1.36 U/mL of the enzyme, a temperature of 85°C, and pH 5.5, 10 g/L ginsenoside Re was transformed into 8.02 g/L Rg2 within 60 min, and 2 g/L ginsenoside Rg1 was transformed into 1.56 g/L Rh1 within 60 min. This paper provides the first report on the production of ginsenoside Rg2 and Rh1 by a highly thermostable β-glucosidase.

Three 20(S)-protopanaxatriol-type saponins, ginsenoside-Rg1 (1), notoginsenoside-R1 (2), and ginsenoside-Re (3), were transformed by the fungus Absidia coerulea (AS 3.3389). Compound 1 was converted into five metabolites, ginsenoside-Rh4 (4), 3β,2β,25- trihydroxydammar-(E)-20(22)-ene-6-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), 20(S)-ginsenoside-Rh1 (6), 20(R)-ginsenoside-Rh1 (7), and a mixture of 25-hydroxy-20(S)-ginsenoside-Rh1 and its C-20(R) epimer (8). Compound 2 was converted into 10 metabolites, 20(S)-notoginsenoside-R 2 (9), 20(R)-notoginsenoside-R2 (10), 3β,12β,25- trihydroxydammar-(E)-20(22)-ene-6-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2) -β-D-glucopyranoside (11), 3β,12β-dihydroxydammar-(E)-20(22),24- diene-6-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside (12), 3β,12β,20,25-tetrahydroxydammaran-6-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl- (1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside (13), and compounds 4-8. Compound 3 was metabolized to 20(S)-ginsenoside-Rg2 (14), 20(R)-ginsenoside-Rg 2 (15), 3β,12β,25-trihydroxydammar-(E)-20(22)-ene-6-O- α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside (16), 3β,12β-dihydroxydammar-(E)-20(22),24-diene-6-O-α-L- rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside (17), 3β,12β,20, 25-tetrahydroxydammaran-6-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2) -β-D-glucopyranoside (18), and compounds 4-8. The structures of five new metabolites, 10-13 and 16, were established by spectroscopic methods.
