glycyrrhizin

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

Glycyrrhizin-6'-methylester, a naturally occurring compound, is isolatable from Glycyrrhiza glabra, commonly known as licorice [1].

Glycyrrhizin-6''-methylester (compound 22), isolated from licorice root, functions as an aglycone to form methyl glucuronate, imparting a sweet, licorice flavor without bitterness. The free carboxyl group on the cone-bound glucuronic acid moiety is critical in contributing to the compound's natural sweetness and licorice taste [1].

Glycyrrhizin-6′,6′′-dimethylester (compound 23), an aglycone derived from licorice saponin isolated from licorice root, contributes to the production of methyl glucuronate, yielding comparable sweetness, licorice flavor, and bitterness [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.

22-Acetoxyglycyrrhizin is a useful organic compound for research related to life sciences. The catalog number is T123903 and the CAS number is 938042-17-2.

Apioglycyrrhizin is a sweet oleanane-type triterpene oligoglycoside; isolated from the roots of Glycyrrhiza inflata.

Ammonium Glycyrrhizinate (Glycyram) inhibits the cytopathology and growth of several unrelated DNA RNA viruses.

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.
