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
Compounds (1-6) isolated from the CH(2)Cl(2) extract of Glycyrrhiza inflata and semisynthetic licochalcone A derivatives (7-14) were evaluated for their protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activities. Licochalcones A (4) and E (6), each with an allyl group at position 5 in the B ring
The controlled Smith degradation and limited hydrolysis of glycyrrhizan GA, a representative polysaccharide with remarkable phagocytosis-enhancing activity isolated from the stolon of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. var. glandulifera Reg. et Herd. were carried out. Methylation analyses of the primary and the
The controlled Smith degradation and limited hydrolysis of glycyrrhizan UA, the main phagocytosis-activating polysaccharide isolated from the root of Glycyrrhiza uralensis FISCHER, was performed. The reticuloendothelial system-potentiating, anti-complementary and alkaline phosphatase-inducing
Postmenopausal women are increasingly using botanicals for menopausal symptom relief due to the increased breast cancer risk associated with traditional estrogen therapy. The deleterious effects of estrogens are associated with estrogen receptor (ER)α-dependent proliferation, while ERβ activation
Liquiritigenin is one of the flavonoids present in Glycyrrhizae radix. In the present study, the effects of liquiritigenin on the function of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells were studied. Liquiritigenin caused a significant elevation of cell growth, alkaline phosphatase activity, collagen synthesis,
BACKGROUND
Calcineurin (CN), a unique protein phosphatase, plays an important role in immune regulation. Our laboratory has established an effective molecular drug-screening model based on CN activity.
OBJECTIVE
Our aim is to search for an effective immunosuppressant from Glycyrrhiza uralensis
OBJECTIVE
To study the inhibitory effect of flavonoids from Glycyrrhiza uralensis on thioacetamide-induced chonic hepatic fibrosis in rats and the effect on the protein expressions of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and Caspase-3 in livers.
METHODS
Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4α) regulates the expression of essential genes involved in very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) homeostasis and gluconeogenesis. 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) is an active ingredient of Glycyrrhiza uralensis an herbal medicine used for treating liver aliments. In
Glycyrrhiza glabra (G. glabra) has been used as a flavoring and sweetener agent, in addition to its therapeutic properties. It is rich in phytoestrogen and may prevent osteoporosis caused by estrogen deficiency; however, there is no evidence for its effects on proliferation and osteogenesis in
Protective role of Gycyrrhiza glabra rhizomes (roots) at three dose levels (100, 75, & 50 mg/kg/bw) against sublethaldose (300 mg/kg/bw) of acetaminophen (paracetamol) induced hepatorenal damage has been assessed in mice. Parameters of study were glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), glutamate
Oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and transaminase reactions are some of the mechanisms that can lead to liver dysfunction. A time-dependent study was designed to evaluate the ability of silymarin (SLN) and glycyrrhizin (GLN) in different dosage regimens to lessen oxidative stress in the rats
Twenty four rats were divided into four groups (6 rats/group): 1-control group; 2-licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) extract: rats administered with an oral dose of licorice (3 mg/ml/kg/day) using stomach tube for 4 weeks; 3-cadmium chloride group: rats administered with an oral dose of CdCl2 (10
To evaluate the protective effects of Glycyrrhiza polysaccharide (GPS) against 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced hepatotoxicity in Jian carp, the fish were fed diets containing GPS at doses of 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0g/kg for 60days before an intraperitoneal injection of 0.6μg/kg TCDD at a
Dactylogyrus ctenopharyngodonid and Ichthyophthirius multifiliis are two important ectoparasites of freshwater fish. Co-infection by the two parasites leads to high fish mortality and results in heavy economic losses. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of medicated feed and a ginger extract
