licorice acid

Licorice acid is used for a zinc supplement in nutrition.

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.

Stearyl glycyrrhetinate, the stearyl ester of 18-β-glycyrrhetinic acid, has been demonstrated to improve antiviral effects, reduce inflammation and suppress allergies in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.

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].

Glycyrrhetinic acid-d3 is a deuterated compound of Glycyrrhetinic acid. Glycyrrhetinic acid has a CAS number of 1449-05-4. Enoxolone (INN, BAN; also known as glycyrrhetinic acid) is a pentacyclic triterpenoid derivative of the beta-amyrin type obtained from the hydrolysis of glycyrrhizic acid, which was obtained from the herb licorice. It is used in flavoring and it masks the bitter taste of drugs like aloe and quinine. It is effective in the treatment of peptic ulcer and also has expectorant (antitussive) properties.

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.

2-(2-Hydroxy-5-methoxyphenoxy)-acrylic acid is a metabolite isolated from the endophytic fungus Phoma macrostoma, residing in the internal tissues of the medicinal plant Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice).
