Abstract:

In this study, we investigated the effects of different extracts of Panax notoginseng (PNT) on cell protection, barrier repair, and the alleviation of inflammatory response and neurological response, and evaluated the soothing efficacy of these extracts. The results show that different extracts of PNT significantly inhibit the red blood cell hemolysis rate and hyaluronidase activity, reduce the levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α in stimulated cells, and inhibit intracellular Ca2+ influx. Furthermore, total saponins of PNT and total polysaccharides of PNT significantly increase the survival rate of KC cells after UVB irradiation, promote KC migration following SLS-induced injury, upregulate the expression of key barrier repair proteins (ZO-1 and claudin-1), and significantly inhibit the capsaicin-induced expression of TRPV1 and TRPM2 proteins. In conclusion, various PNT extracts exhibit strong soothing properties, with PNT saponins demonstrating superior soothing efficacy compared to PNT flavonoids and PNT polysaccharides.
