In China, the collection of wild Glycyrrhiza uralensis, one of the raw materials of Chinese licorice, has been restricted to prevent desertification. To compensate for the reduced supply of wild Glycyrrhiza plants, cultivation programs of G. uralensis have been initiated in eastern Inner Mongolia.
Two new 2-arylbenzofurans, glycybenzofuran (1) and cyclolicocoumarone (2), together with 10 known flavonoids including licocoumarone (3), glycyrrhisoflavone (4), glisoflavone (5), cycloglycyrrhisoflavone (6), isoliquiritigenin (7), licoflavone A (8), apigenin (9), isokaempferide (10), glycycoumarin
Comparative analysis of 10 strains of Glycyrrhiza uralensis cultivated in Kyoto, Japan, was undertaken to characterize their variations. Based on the chemical characteristics of their leaves and underground parts, the 10 strains were divided into two chemotypes, the China type and Kazakhstan type.
In order to reveal the chemical characteristics of Glycyrrhiza uralensis growing in Mongolia and to clarify whether it can be the source of Glycyrrhizae Radix used in Japan, eight major bioactive constituents in the underground parts of G. uralensis collected in Mongolia were quantitatively analyzed
Glycyrrhiza uralensis (liquorice) is a well-known medicinal plant. Its roots and rhizomes are used as the popular Chinese herbal medicine Gan-Cao. An ethanol extract of the aerial parts of G. uralensis showed antidiabetic effects on db/db mice. It decreased the blood glucose level by
Glycycoumarin is a major bioactive coumarin of licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis), one of the most popular herbal medicines worldwide. In this work, the metabolism of glycycoumarin in rats was investigated. After oral administration of 40mg/kg glycycoumarin, 4 and 10 metabolites were respectively
Minor phenolic compounds in licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) have recently been proved for diverse bioactivities and favorable bioavailability, indicating that they may play an important role in the therapeutic effects or herb-drug interactions of licorice. However, so far, their abundance in
Development of complementary and/or alternative drugs for treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is still much needed from clinical and economic points of view. Antiviral substances obtained from medicinal plants are potentially good targets to study. Glycyrrhiza uralensis and G. glabra have
Constituent properties of licorices derived from Glycyrrhiza uralensis, G. glabra, and G. inflata are revealed by comparing 117 of licorice identified using four genetic markers; internal tracscribed spacer (ITS) on nuclear ribosomal DNA, rbcL gene, matK gene, and trnH-trnK1 intergenic region on
The metabolic syndrome, including type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity/abdominal obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia, is a major public health problem. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) ligands such as thiazolidinediones are effective against this syndrome. In
Licorice, the roots and rhizomes of several Glycyrrhiza species (Leguminosae), is an important natural sweetening agent and a widely used herbal medicine. In this work, six flavonoids, 5-(1,1-dimethylallyl)-3,4,4'-trihydroxy-2-methoxychalcone (1), licochalcone B (2), licochalcone A (3), echinatin
Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., known as licorice, is one of the most famous Traditional Chinese Medicine. In this study, we perform a metabolome analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to assign bioactive components in different parts of licorice from different geographical
The potential of licorice dietary supplements to interact with drug metabolism was evaluated by testing extracts of three botanically identified licorice species (Glycyrrhiza glabra L., Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fish. ex DC. and Glycyrrhiza inflata Batalin) and 14 isolated licorice compounds for
