Abstract

Introduction

Postoperative complications are common issues that may arise from anesthetic drugs or surgical procedures. This study aimed to investigate the protective and therapeutic effects of ginsenosides on anesthesia-associated side effects and postoperative complications.

Methods

This study was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to identify relevant studies published prior to October 13, 2024. Predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, and duplicates were removed.

Results

Ginsenosides inhibit oxidative stress and enhance cognitive function by activating pathways such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Protein kinase B (PKB) (AKT)/glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β), promoting neuroplasticity, alleviating oxidative stress, and modulating neuroinflammatory markers, as well as microglia and astrocytes. They help to maintain mitochondrial integrity, thereby reducing apoptosis and neurotoxicity caused by anesthetic agents. Ginsenosides also alleviate postoperative pain by modulating N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and suppressing inflammatory cytokines. They also improved neuropsychological problems by increasing Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). The anti-fatigue properties of ginsenosides are attributed to enhanced antioxidant activity, improved skeletal muscle metabolic function, and increased Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) production.

Discussion

These results are consistent with prior studies demonstrating the neuroprotective effects of ginsenosides. Despite promising outcomes, the prevalence of animal studies and the absence of clinical data underscore the necessity for clinical validation and safety profiling in future research.

Conclusion

Preclinical evidence shows ginsenosides, particularly Rg1, Rb1, and Rg3, demonstrate promising protective and therapeutic effects against anesthesia-associated adverse effects and postoperative complications.
