ginsenoside

Membership criteria

Record the adopted definition and explicitly adjudicate related saponins and aglycones.

1. Which structural and nomenclatural criteria qualify a compound as a ginsenoside under the adopted definition? definition
2. How are non-dammarane named compounds, related saponins and free aglycones included, excluded or linked? boundary

Name-structure correspondence

Resolve aliases against complete structures while preserving ambiguity.

1. Which structure, including stereochemistry, does each supplied congener name or synonym denote? definition
2. Which authoritative records support its identifiers, and do those records describe the same stereochemical entity? provenance

Core structure assignment

Identify structural differences that determine congener or stereoisomer identity.

1. What aglycone skeleton, oxidation pattern and stereocentre assignments define this member? definition
2. What evidence resolves the relevant epimers, including C-20 configuration where applicable? measurement

Glycosidic structure assignment

Record sugar composition, connectivity and modifications without collapsing positional isomers.

1. Which sugars are attached at which positions, with what sequence, linkage and anomeric configuration? definition
2. Which analytical evidence distinguishes this arrangement from congeners with the same nominal mass or sugar count? measurement

Analytical specificity

Connect identification confidence to standards, separation and structural evidence.

1. Which reference standards and chromatographic, mass-spectrometric or NMR evidence support each assignment? measurement
2. Which coeluting congeners or unresolved stereoisomers could invalidate that assignment? boundary

Quantitative profile

Separate actual analyte mass fractions from relative detector response and aggregate estimates.

1. What is each measured congener's concentration, uncertainty and dry-mass or as-received reporting basis? measurement
2. Does total ginsenoside content mean a sum of resolved analytes or an assay expressed against a surrogate standard? definition
3. What residual solvents, water, related congeners or matrix components constrain acceptance for the intended use? action

Origin attribution

Preserve botanical, isolation or synthesis evidence without treating origin as proof of structure.

1. Was the material isolated from a documented species and plant part, synthesized, or obtained through conversion of another compound? provenance
2. Which lot records and analytical results connect that origin to the material now being assessed? provenance

Congener change evidence

Distinguish observed transformations from presumed pathways.

1. Under the recorded heat, pH, enzyme, microbial or storage conditions, which precursor and product congeners were actually measured? measurement
2. What evidence distinguishes deglycosylation, epimerization or other chemical change from extraction loss or analytical variation? boundary
3. Which storage conditions and retest interval are supported for this congener in this physical form or solvent? action

Preparation conditions

Record physical form, dissolution and thermal observations for an identified material.

1. What solubility and solution stability were measured for the exact congener, solvent composition, temperature and pH? measurement
2. Does a reported thermal value represent melting, desolvation or decomposition, and is any boiling-point claim experimentally supported? measurement

Use-specific evidence

Match safety, biological and regulatory statements to the exact member, material and context.

1. Which current safety documents, hazard classifications or exposure limits explicitly apply to this congener and supplied material? provenance
2. Were cited biological results obtained with this purified congener, a metabolite or a mixed extract, and in what experimental system? boundary
3. What evidence and jurisdiction-specific requirements must be satisfied before the proposed laboratory, food or medicinal use can proceed? action
