Ginsenoside Mc is a natural product, that can be prepared by removal of two glucose molecules at 3-C of ginsenoside Rc (HY-N0042). Ginsenoside Mc has anti-tumor activity[1].

ChEBI: Ginsenoside Mc is a ginsenoside found in Panax notoginseng that is dammarane which is substituted by hydroxy groups at the 3beta, 12beta and 20 pro-S positions and in which the hydroxy group at position 20 has been converted to the corresponding alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a human xenobiotic metabolite and an antineoplastic agent. It is a beta-D-glucoside, a disaccharide derivative, a ginsenoside, a tetracyclic triterpenoid and a 3beta-hydroxy-4,4-dimethylsteroid. It is functionally related to a (20S)-protopanaxadiol. It derives from a hydride of a dammarane.
