glycyrrhizic acid

Glycyrrhizic acid (Glycyrrhizin) is a triterpenoid saponinl with anti-tumor and anti-diabetic activities.

18α-Glycyrrhizic acid, a derivative of Glycyrrhizic acid, exhibits weak antihepatotoxic and anti-inflammatory activities [1].

Diammonium Glycyrrhizinate (Glycyrrhizin) , an extensively used anti-inflammatory agent, is isolated from the licorice root. It is metabolized to glycyrrhetinic acid, which inhibits 11-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and other enzymes involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids. Therefore, glycyrrhizic acid, the main and sweet component of licorice, has been studied for its ability to cause hypermineralocorticoidism with potassium loss and sodium retention, edema, increased blood pressure, as well as inhibited the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Ammonium glycyrrhizinate (Glycyrram) exhibits diverse pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antigastriculcer, and antihepatitis activities.

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate is an anionic surfactant having anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory activities.

Licorice-saponin H2 (Licoricesaponin H2) is a natural product

Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate hydrate (18α-Glycyrrhizic acid Magnesium hydrate) is an active ingredient derived from licorice with anti-inflammatory properties. It lowers alanine and aspartate aminotransferase activities and can be used in HIV-1 infection research.

Licorice-saponin H2 ammonium (compound 7) is a triterpene oligoglycoside from the oleanane group, which can be isolated from licorice roots.
