Inhibition of human carboxylesterases by ginsenosides: structure–activity relationships and inhibitory mechanism
Abstract Background Human carboxylesterases (hCES) are key serine hydrolases responsible for the hydrolysis of a wide range of endogenous and xenobiotic esters. Although it has been reported that some ginsenosides can modulate the activities of various enzymes, the inhibitory effects of ginsenosides...
