January 2026 in “RSC Advances” The study on radix Panax notoginseng identified 48 compounds, including 6 new triterpenoid saponins, using spectroscopic techniques. Certain compounds demonstrated significant biological activities, such as compound 43's strong anti-inflammatory effects and its ability to promote the proliferation of human oral mucosa fibroblasts. Additionally, several compounds enhanced the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential benefits for hair growth. These findings indicate that P. notoginseng may be valuable in ameliorating oral ulcer conditions and preventing hair loss, with applications in both pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields. However, the study's impact is limited by the absence of mechanistic studies and advanced models, highlighting the need for future in vivo tests.
