Abstract:
... The Glycyrrhiza radix (Licorice) is one of the most commonly used medicinal plants in Asian countries, such as China, India, and Korea. It has been traditionally used to treat many diseases, including cough, cold, asthma, fatigue, gastritis, and respiratory tract infections. A Glycyrrhiza new variety, Wongam (WG), has been developed by the Korea Rural Development Administration and revealed pharma ...
... Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) is a medicinal plant species valued in many countries in Asia and Europe for its phytochemical characteristics. Licorice biodiversity is becoming threatened nowadays in Iran due to increasing demand and a drastic decline of its natural habitats. Therefore, licorice domestication would be necessary in the near future, and molecular breeding would help to introduce g ...
... It has been reported that drought stress adversely affects the growth and yield of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Chinese liquorice, in agricultural production. Bacillus pumilus, an important plant growth‐promoting bacterium, play a significant role in improving plant tolerance to abiotic stress. However, the role of Bacillus pumilus G5 in resisting drought stress is largely unknown. In the present study, ...
... Licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch.) is a salt and drought tolerant legume suitable for rehabilitating abandoned saline lands, especially in dry arid regions. We hypothesized that soil amended with maize-derived biochar might alleviate salt stress in licorice by improving its growth, nutrient acquisition, and root system adaptation. Experiments were designed to determine the effect of different ...
... Selective factor Xa inhibitors effectively block coagulation cascade with a broader therapeutic window than multitargeted anticoagulants. They have evolved as a crucial part of prevention and treatment of thromboembolic diseases and in therapeutic protocols involved in many clinical trials in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Biologically-guided isolation of specific FXa inhibitors fro ...
... The dried and nearly ripe fruits of Tetradium ruticarpum (A. Juss.) T.G. Hartley (TR) have long been used in treating headache and gastrointestinal disorders in oriental medicine. TR is usually processed by stir-frying with licorice extract before use. Although processing procedure is considered as the way to relieve pungent smell, reduce toxicity, and improve efficacy, its effects on TR's toxicit ...
... Fennel seeds were recognized as a promising polyphenol oxidase (PPO) source upon investigating some edible green plants (carob, jujube, coriander, fennel, and licorice). The fennel PPO enzyme was purified by three-phase partitioning and biochemically characterized in detail for the first time. The purification fold and activity recovery values were determined as 20-fold and 120%, respectively. Its ...
... Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are facultative biotrophic ascomycetes that colonize plant roots. DSE may provide nutrients to their plant hosts and help them adapt to various abiotic and biotic stresses. However, their effects on the microbiome composition in plant rhizosphere need further clarification. Here, we conducted a pot experiment to establish whether the responses of licorice (Glycyrrhiza ...
... Licorice extract (LE) is widely used in food and medicine fields. The detection of single chemical component cannot describe its overall quality. In this paper, the content of five active components and HPLC fingerprint of LE was determined. Firstly, the dual-standard system calibration method was proposed to correct the differences between different chromatographic systems. Then, the five-dimensi ...

... Licorice saponins, the main constituents of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. roots, are highly appreciated by the consumer for their pleasant sweet and long lasting licorice taste. The objective of the present study was to understand the molecular features that contribute to bitter, sweet and licorice sensation of licorice roots, and whether individual compounds elicit more than one of these sensations. Ther ...
... The data described in this article presents the toxicity of rotenone and the neuroprotective effect of Yashtimadhu choorna (powder) in an in vitro Parkinson's disease model [1]. Yashtimadhu choorna is prepared from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra L., commonly known as licorice/ liquorice. The effects of rotenone and Yashtimadhu was assessed using cellular and molecular assays such as cell cytotoxi ...
... This study aimed to assess the impacts of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) on the growth performance, carcass traits, intestinal microbiota, liver and kidney functions, immunity, oxidative status, and lipid profile of Japanese quails. A total of 200 one-week-old unsexed Japanese quails with an average initial body weight of 26.24 ± 0.2 g were randomly distributed into 5 equal groups of 40 birds and f ...
... This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) on growth, lipid metabolism, antioxidant and immune response, and stress resistance of common carp. The fish (12.14 ± 0.39 g) were fed diets containing 0 (control), 10 (G1), 20 (G2) and 30 (G3) g/kg licorice root powder for 60 days and then subjected to 3‐hr crowding stress (40 kg/m³). The highest final weight and ...

Abstract:
... Human carboxylesterase 2 (hCES2A) is a key target to ameliorate the intestinal toxicity triggered by irinotecan that causes severe diarrhea in 50%–80% of patients receiving this anticancer agent. Herbal medicines are frequently used for the prevention and treatment of the intestinal toxicity of irinotecan, but it is very hard to find strong hCES2A inhibitors from herbal medicines in an efficient w ...
... Global climate change and the increasing population have increased the difficulties associated with grain production. Several measures have been established to maintain a high crop yield, while preserving or increasing soil health, including biochar application to soil, and producing new complex soil with soil amendment application, e.g., biochar and soft rocks. However, previous studies have focu ...
