Abstract: Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma Rubra (GRRR) is one of the well-known medical materials which are made from ginseng through the Chinese traditional Medicine processing methods.Its chemical components mainly include saponins,volatile oils,sugars,amino acids,trace elements and so on.Pharmacological research activities have showed that GRRR has positive effects in enhancing immune system,anti-tumor,anti-oxidation,anti-aging,anti-fatigue,anti-diabetes,anti-hepatorenal toxicity,etc.Many components can be produced during processing,for example,ginsenosides Rg3,Rh1,Rh2,panaxynol,arginyl-fructosyl-glucose,maltol,which could help strengthen the pharmacological activities of GRRR.This article,while systematizing the research progress of the chemical composition and pharmacological researches on GRRR during 2010 and 2020,is aimed to provide a theoretical basis for quality control and clinical application of GRRR.
