  • Scientific Description
    Chemical. CAS: 53956-04-0. Formula: C42H62O16 . NH3. MW: 839.96. Glycyrrhizic acid is a natural triterpenoid saponin. It is an agonist of the human sweet taste receptor and is used as a flavorant. Glycyrrhizic acid has diverse biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, anticancer, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective and antiviral actions. Glycyrrhizic acid has been shown to be a 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor, a functional inhibitor of HMGB1 and a highly selective and competitive inhibitor of kynurenine aminotransferase 2 (KAT2). It can enhance GLP-1 secretion through TGR5 activation and has an anti-inflammatory effect by attenuating the generation of excessive NO, PGE(2), and ROS and by suppressing the expression of pro-inflammatory genes through the inhibition of NF-kappa and PI3K activity. It has anti-angiogenic and apoptosis inducing properties. In addition, due to its amphiphilic nature glycyrrhizic acid is able to form self-associates in aqueous and non-aqueous media, as well as water soluble complexes with a wide range of lipophilic drugs. It has been identified as promising carrier material for anticancer therapy, due to its anti-cancer-related pharmacological activities, such as broad-spectrum anti-cancer ability, resistance to the tissue toxicity caused by chemotherapy and radiation, drug absorption enhancing effects and anti-multidrug resistance (MDR) mechanisms. - Glycyrrhizic acid is a natural triterpenoid saponin.
