Abstract:
... Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) is one of the major bioactive components of the leguminous plant Glycyrrhiza spp. (Chinese licorice). The mechanism by which GA is transported within or out of cells remains completely unknown. Given the fact that living organisms harbor thousands of membrane transporters, experimental verification of membrane transporters for specific GA transporters is both laborious and ...

Abstract:
... Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is one of the main chronic liver diseases. NASH is identified by lipid accumulation, inflammation, and fibrosis. Jinan Red Ginseng (JRG) and licorice have been widely used because of their anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects. Hence, this study assessed JRG and licorice extract mixtures' effects on NASH progression.Palmitic acid (PA) and the western di ...

Abstract:
... A quick and selective analytical method was developed employing LC-MS/MS for the quantitation of matrine. This is known to be a natural ingredient of Sophora ssp. and is suggested to be a potential contaminant, e.g. in herbal raw materials from liquorice or confectionery products based on liquorice. To prove that the finding of matrine in liquorice roots does not originate from an active use of pe ...
... Triterpenoids and flavonoids from licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch.) are known to have a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical, skin care, and food industries. The effects of various types of abiotic stresses and associated phytohormones - polyethylene glycol, sodium chloride, ultraviolet, cadmium, abscisic acid, and methyl jasmonate - on both the content of these secondary metabol ...

Abstract:
... Honey-processed licorice has been used since ancient times. It was recorded that honey-processing has the effect of improving the immunomodulatory efficacy of licorice, which has been confirmed by modern pharmacological studies. However, it is still unknown why honey-processing can enhance the immunomodulatory activity of licorice. Our previous research demonstrated that honey has natural deep eut ...

Abstract:
... In traditional Chinese medicine, the dried root of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. (licorice root) is usually used after stir-baked with honey. However, in Japanese traditional Kampo medicine, processed licorice root is prepared by roasting without honey. Aim of the study: We summarized our previous studies on the processed licorice root products to review the effectiveness of the processing for lico ...

Abstract:
... Drought has become a global concern due to the climate-change. Here, the effects of Claroiedoglomus etunicatum inoculation (F₁) and without inoculation (F₀) and silicon nutrition (300 mg/L) (Si₁) and no silicon nutrition (Si₀) were evaluated on morphophysiological and biochemical traits in Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.). The plants were exposed to drought stress (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% fie ...

Abstract:
... Osteoarthritis is a significant driver of disability in the elderly with increasing prevalence, and inflammation plays a vital role on its etiology. Licorice is commonly used as a traditional Chinese medicine or food additive, and its prenylated phenolic compounds were recently reported to be able to inhibit osteoarthritis with anti-inflammatory activity. In order to explore more anti-osteoarthrit ...

Abstract:
... 18α-Glycyrrhizin is an epimer of 18β-glycyrrhizin, a major component of licorice (Glycyrrhiza sp.), which is widely used as a traditional medicine. Whether 18α-glycyrrhizin is a real natural product has been debated in the long history of glycyrrhizin chemistry because 18β-glycyrrhizin is epimerizable to a more thermodynamically stable 18α-glycyrrhizin under aqueous alkali conditions. We improved ...

Abstract:
... Chalcones, a class of natural lipase inhibitors, have received substantial attention from researchers in recent years. Although many kinds of chalcones are typically distributed in G. inflata, there is little literature about the anti-lipase activity of G. inflata extracts (GIEs). In the present study, a ligand fishing strategy for fast screening of lipase inhibitors from GIEs was thus proposed. P ...
